Seglitide (previously known as L363,586 or MK-678), a cyclic, hexapeptide analog of somatostatin-14, is a somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) agonist. This compound was studied in Alzheimer's disease. Besides, it possessed inhibitory actions on rat growth hormone (GH) release and thus could have a role in the treatment of acromegaly. Intravenous and intranasal administration of seglitide to diabetic subjects was effective in reducing both fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia. Thus, this compound could be useful in the control of unstable diabetes. In addition, preclinical studies have shown that seglitide had potential as a treatment for diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. However, the further studied of this compound were discontinued.
