Description

(±)-Pgf2-Alpha CAS NO 23518-25-4 is a high-purity synthetic prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) analog, a key bioactive lipid mediator. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers requiring a reliable, well-characterized standard for biochemical studies and pharmaceutical development. It is primarily utilized in life science research, pharmaceutical R&D, and as a reference material in analytical laboratories.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Serves as a critical reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in the development of therapeutics targeting reproductive health, ocular pressure, and inflammation.
• Biochemical & Pharmacological Studies: Used to investigate the physiological and pathological roles of prostaglandins, including studies on smooth muscle contraction, luteolysis, and inflammatory pathways.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Employed as a primary standard in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography (GC), and Mass Spectrometry (MS) for method development, validation, and quality control of related compounds.
• Cell Culture & In Vitro Assays: Applied in cell-based assays to study receptor binding, signal transduction, and cellular responses mediated by the FP receptor and other prostaglandin pathways.
