What is Lanreotide?
Long-acting somatostatin analog with high affinity for receptors involved in GH suppression. It is used in clinical and translational studies for acromegaly and hormone-secreting tumors.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
GH suppression
IGF-1 lowering
acromegaly control
neuroendocrine tumor control
Research Summary
Lanreotide provides sustained somatostatin receptor activation and is a major long-acting comparator in GH-axis therapy research. Its depot formulations make it a standard tool for evaluating long-duration endocrine suppression.

Ibutamoren
Ibutamoren mesylate (MK-677)
Ibutamoren is an orally active ghrelin receptor agonist that increases pulsatile growth hormone and IGF-1 secretion. It has been studied for effects on lean mass, recovery, and age-related anabolic support.
Growth HormoneAnamorelin
Anamorelin hydrochloride (ONO-7643)
Anamorelin is a selective ghrelin receptor agonist developed to stimulate appetite and growth hormone signaling. It has been investigated primarily in cancer cachexia and other wasting states.
Growth HormoneMacimorelin
Macimorelin acetate (AEZS-130)
Macimorelin is an orally active ghrelin mimetic used as a growth hormone stimulation agent. It produces a rapid GH rise after a single dose and is used clinically to help diagnose adult GH deficiency.
Growth HormoneCapromorelin
Capromorelin hydrochloride
Capromorelin is a ghrelin receptor agonist that stimulates growth hormone release and increases appetite. It is best known in veterinary medicine, but it has also been explored in human research settings.
