Octreotide Acetate Injection, a cyclic octapeptide prepared as a clear sterile solution of octreotide, acetate salt, in a buffered acetate solution with a pH range 3.9 to 4.5 for administration by deep subcutaneous (intrafat) or intravenous (IV) injection. Octreotide acetate, known chemically as L-Cysteinamide, D-phenylalanyl-L-cysteinyl-L-phenylalanyl-D-tryptophyl-L-lysyl-L-threonyl-N-[2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl) propyl]-,cyclic (2 → 7)-disulfide; [R-(R*, R*)] acetate salt, is a long-acting octapeptide with pharmacologic actions mimicking those of the natural hormone somatostatin. Octreotide Acetate Injection is available as sterile 1 mL single-dose vials in 3 strengths, containing 50 mcg, 100 mcg, or 500 mcg octreotide acetate, USP. Each mL of the single-dose vial also contains sodium chloride, USP (7 mg), glacial acetic acid, USP (2 mg), sodium acetate trihydrate, USP (2 mg), and water for injection, USP (quantity sufficient to 1 mL). Octreotide Acetate Injection is also available as sterile 5 mL multi-dose vials in 2 strengths, containing 200 mcg, or 1,000 mcg per mL of octreotide acetate, USP. Each mL of the multi-dose vial also contains sodium chloride, USP (7 mg), glacial acetic acid, USP (2 mg), sodium acetate trihydrate, USP (2 mg), phenol, USP (5 mg), and water for injection, USP (quantity sufficient to 1 mL). The molecular weight of octreotide acetate is 1,019.3 g/mol (free peptide, C 49 H 66 N 10 O 10 S 2 ) and its amino acid sequence is: Amino Acid Sequence
