Description
BIM-26226 is a selective gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) (IC50 = 6 nM) and bombesin receptor (BN receptor) antagonist. BIM-26226 antagonizes BN- or GRP-stimulated amylase release with IC50 values of 0.3 nM and 0.2 nM, respectively. BIM-26226 is specific for the GRP-preferring BN receptor subtype with no interference with GRP receptor system. BIM-26226 can induce the synthesis of somatostatin receptor but has no significant effect on tumor growth[1][2][3][4]
