Bentiromide acetate
Bentiromide acetate is a compound used primarily in medical testing to assess pancreatic exocrine function. It is a synthetic peptide composed of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) linked to a dipeptide. When taken orally, bentiromide is broken down by the enzyme chymotrypsin, which is produced by the pancreas. This test is especially useful in diagnosing conditions like chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, and other disorders that affect pancreatic function.
