Description

Oxytocin, -1-(β-Mercapto-(Beta,β-Cyclopentamethylene)Propionic Acid)-Phe(Me)(2)-Thr(4)-Orn(8)- is a potent synthetic analogue of the neuropeptide hormone oxytocin, designed for enhanced stability and receptor specificity. This compound is critical for advanced research in neuroendocrinology and the development of novel therapeutic agents targeting the oxytocin receptor pathway. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D teams, academic research institutions, and biotechnology companies focused on central nervous system disorders, social behavior research, and reproductive health.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a key reference standard and active ingredient in preclinical studies for novel CNS therapeutics.
• Neurobiological Studies: Investigating the role of oxytocin pathways in social bonding, stress response, and maternal behavior.
• Drug Discovery Programs: High-throughput screening and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies for oxytocin receptor agonists/antagonists.
• Biochemical Assay Development: Used in the calibration and validation of receptor binding assays and functional cellular tests.
• Peptide Chemistry & Conjugation: Serving as a sophisticated scaffold for developing peptide-drug conjugates with improved pharmacokinetic profiles.
• Academic Research: Fundamental research in endocrinology, psychiatry, and behavioral science within university and institutional labs.

Quality Control

Every batch of our high-purity peptide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We provide comprehensive analytical data to support your regulatory and research requirements. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are supplied with each shipment, detailing purity, identity confirmation, and impurity profiles as determined by advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic methods.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dedicated freezer. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation. For long-term stability, store under desiccant.
