Description

n-ω-Methylserotonin Oxalate Salt is a high-purity, chemically defined derivative of the neurotransmitter serotonin, specifically modified at the omega position. This compound is of significant value in neuroscience and pharmacological research as a selective and potent ligand for studying serotonin receptor subtypes, particularly the 5-HT1A and 5-HT2 families. It is an essential tool for researchers and developers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, enabling critical investigations into neurochemical pathways, receptor binding assays, and the development of novel central nervous system (CNS) therapeutics.

Application

• Neuroscience Research: A key reference standard and tool compound for studying serotonin (5-HT) receptor pharmacology, function, and distribution.
• Drug Discovery & Development: Used in high-throughput screening (HTS) and binding assays to identify and characterize new serotoninergic drugs targeting depression, anxiety, and migraines.
• Biochemical Assays: Serves as a precise agonist/antagonist in vitro to elucidate signal transduction pathways mediated by specific serotonin receptor subtypes.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Fundamental for university and government lab studies on neurotransmission, behavior, and neuropsychiatric disorders.
• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Employed as a certified reference material (CRM) for quality control and method validation in analytical laboratories.
• Preclinical Studies: Utilized in animal model research to investigate the physiological and behavioral effects of serotonin receptor modulation.

Quality Control

Our n-ω-Methylserotonin Oxalate Salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, guaranteeing traceability, batch-to-batch consistency, and compliance with relevant industry guidelines.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a desiccated environment to maintain stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
