Octreotide acetate injection a cyclic octapeptide prepared as a clear sterile solution of octreotide, acetate salt, in a buffered lactic acid solution 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 vials in 3 strengths, each mL containing 50 mcg, 100 mcg, or 500 mcg of octreotide (as acetate) as the active and the following inactive ingredients: L-lactic acid 3 mg, sodium chloride 7 mg, sodium hydroxide, and water for injection, q.s. Octreotide acetate injection is also available as sterile 5 mL multiple dose vials in 2 strengths, each mL containing 200 mcg or 1,000 mcg of octreotide (as acetate) as the active and the following inactive ingredients: L-lactic acid 3 mg, sodium chloride 7 mg, sodium hydroxide, and water for injection, q.s. Phenol 5 mg has been added as a preservative. L-Lactic acid and sodium hydroxide are added to provide a buffered solution, pH range 3.9 to 4.5. The molecular weight of octreotide acetate is 1019.3 g/mol (free peptide, C 49 H 66 N 10 O 10 S 2 ) and its amino acid sequence is: octreotide structure
