Somatostatin is a tetradecapeptide that regulates, through binding to its receptors (SSTRs), a number of processes including the release of growth hormone and other pituitary hormones. Disclosed herein are a number of somatostatin mimetics that exhibit potential utility as therapeutic agents. Formula (I)

The benzomacrolactone is a framework found in numerous natural products. The synthesis of an orthogonally functionalized benzomacrolactone from d-glucosamine and a salicylic acid derivative is described. This macrolactone was used for the synthesis of a somatostatin mimetic that has submicromolar affinity for the human somatostatin receptor 4 (hSSTR4).
