Structure of the most used somatostatin analogs: octreotide (A), lanreotide (B), vapreotide (C), and pasireotide (D). Lanreotide is an octapeptide that self-assembles into nanotubes when placed in an aqueous environment. It has 3 aromatic residues (d-naphthylalanine, tyrosine, and d-tryptophan) that are involved in the formation of these supramolecular structures.
