Somatostatin receptors are often overexpressed in tumours and are potential therapeutic targets. Somatostatin receptor agonists can be used to study signaling pathways related somatostatin receptor. L 803087 is a somatostatin sst4 receptor agonist.

Potent and selective somatostatin sst 4 receptor agonist. K i values are 0.7, 199, 4720, 1280 and 3880 nM for cloned human sst 4 , sst 1 , sst 2 , sst 3 and sst 5 receptors respectively. Facilitates AMPA-mediated hippocampal synaptic responses in vitro and increases kainate-induced seizures in mice in vivo .
