This study compared the potency of a somatostatin receptor (sstr)2-sstr5 analog, BIM-23244, of an sstr2-dopamine D2 receptor (sstr2-DAD2) molecule, BIM-23A387 and of new somatostatin-dopamine chimeric molecules with differing, enhanced affinities for sstr2, sstr5 and DAD2, BIM-23A758, BIM-23A760 and BIM-23A761, to suppress GH and prolactin (PRL) from 18 human GH adenomas that are partially responsive to octreotide or lanreotide.
