Summary

The effect of the long-acting somatostatin analogue SMS 201-995 on cellular proliferation and calcitonin production was examined in rMTC 6-23 cells. A dose-dependent inhibition of calcitonin release and cellular calcitonin content was obtained in cells exposed to SMS 201-995 for 72 hrs. The dose-dependent antiproliferative effect of SMS 201-995 (10-8-10-6M) was significant after 72 hrs of exposure. SMS 201-995 has an inhibitory effect on calcitonin secretion and synthesis as well as on the growth of C-cells.
