Description: Pasireotide pamoate (formerly SOM-230; SOM230) is the pamoate salt of Pasireotide, which is a cyclohexapeptide somatostatin mimic and an orphan drug approved for the treatment of Cushing's disease in patients who fail or are ineligible for surgical therapy. It was developed by Novartis. Pasireotide is a somatostatin analogue with a 40-fold increased affinity to somatostatin receptor 5 compared to other somatostatin analogues.
