What is Sincalide
Sincalide is a synthetically prepared cholecystopancreatic-gastrointestinal hormone peptide for parenteral administration. Structurally, it is an eight chain peptide of the C-terminal of cholecystokinin.
Activities include gallbladder contraction, sphincter of Oddi relaxation, hepatic bile secretion, pancreatic secretion stimulation, and intestinal smooth muscle stimulation.
Sincalide has been studied in the treatment and prevention of parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC), predominantly in children.
