Description

Picumeterol is a selective β-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, a potent bronchodilator of significant interest in pharmaceutical research and development. Its primary value lies in its potential for creating long-acting therapeutic agents to treat respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This compound is essential for pharmaceutical manufacturers, R&D laboratories, and academic institutions focused on advancing pulmonary medicine and developing novel inhalation therapies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of advanced, long-acting bronchodilator medications.
• Respiratory Drug Research: Used in preclinical and clinical research to study β-2 adrenergic receptor mechanisms and efficacy.
• Inhalation Therapy Development: Serves as a core active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or precursor in the formulation of dry powder inhalers (DPIs) and metered-dose inhalers (MDIs).
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and regulatory testing of finished pharmaceutical products.
• Biochemical Studies: Utilized in pharmacological assays to investigate receptor binding affinity and selectivity profiles.

Quality Control

Our Picumeterol is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for demanding pharmaceutical applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and impurity profiling, to meet rigorous internal specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and related substances is provided with every shipment to support your quality and regulatory requirements.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under dry, inert conditions to maintain stability and purity.
