Description

Oxytocin, Deamino-1-Carba- is a potent synthetic analogue of the neuropeptide hormone oxytocin, characterized by enhanced metabolic stability. This modification, which replaces the disulfide bridge with a carbamidomethyl group, makes it a valuable tool for advanced research into oxytocin receptor signaling and function. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical researchers, biochemists, and contract development organizations engaged in neuroendocrinology, behavioral studies, and peptide-based drug discovery programs.

Application

• Pharmacological Research: Used as a stable reference standard and agonist in studies of oxytocin receptor (OXTR) binding, activation, and downstream signaling pathways.
• Neuroscience & Behavioral Studies: Critical for investigating the role of oxytocin in social behavior, bonding, stress response, and memory in preclinical models.
• Drug Discovery & Development: Serves as a lead compound or benchmark for developing novel therapeutic agents targeting the oxytocin system for conditions like autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, and postpartum depression.
• Biochemical Assay Development: Employed in the standardization and validation of high-throughput screening (HTS) assays and diagnostic tests related to oxytocinergic systems.
• Academic Research: A key reagent for university and institutional labs studying peptide chemistry, neuroendocrinology, and comparative endocrinology.
