The blood half-life of endogenous peptides such as somatostatin and cortistatin is extremely short, barely reaching a few In minutes [Skamene et al., Clin. Endocrinol. 1984, 20, 555-564]. Thus, there is a need to find new systems or compositions that comprise cortistatinor an analogue thereof for the treatment of those pathologies in which specific cortistatin receptors and those receptors shared with other molecules like somatostatin (sstr1, sstr2, sstr3, sstr4 and/or sstr5) and/or ghrelin (GHSR) are expressed, being, furthermore, more stable in blood than cortistatin. The present invention providesan improved means for providing cortistatinor an analogue thereof as a pharmaceutically active agent in latent form, more stable in blood than cortistatin that liberates cortistatin in a controlled-release manner.
