Description

Bethanechol is a parasympathomimetic choline carbamate that selectively stimulates muscarinic receptors. This compound is of significant commercial and research interest due to its specific pharmacological activity, primarily affecting smooth muscle tone. It is a critical material for the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in the development and production of urological and gastrointestinal therapeutics. Bethanechol CAS NO 111244-97-4 is supplied to meet the stringent quality demands of global API manufacturers and advanced research institutions.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Ingredient (API): Primary use in the formulation of prescription medications for urinary retention and gastroesophageal reflux.
• Research & Development: A key reference standard and tool compound in pharmacological studies of the cholinergic system and smooth muscle function.
• Intermediate Synthesis: Serves as a crucial building block in the synthesis of more complex cholinergic analogs and derivatives.
• Veterinary Medicine: Employed in veterinary pharmaceuticals for managing postoperative ileus and urinary bladder atony in animals.
• Biochemical Assays: Used in in vitro diagnostic assays and receptor binding studies to evaluate muscarinic agonist activity.

Quality Control

Our Bethanechol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets high-grade pharmaceutical standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing results for appearance, identity (IR), assay (HPLC), related substances, residual solvents, and specific tests are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
