Description

Gitaloxin CAS NO 3261-53-8 is a potent cardiac glycoside derived from the foxglove plant, *Digitalis lanata*. This high-purity compound is critical for pharmaceutical research and development, particularly in the study of cardiac physiology and the development of therapeutic agents for heart conditions. It is an essential raw material for manufacturers and research institutions focused on cardiovascular drugs, biochemical studies, and reference standards. Our supply ensures consistent quality and reliable availability for critical global applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API): Serves as a key intermediate or reference standard in the synthesis and quality control of cardiac medications.
• Biochemical and Pharmacological Research: Used in laboratory studies to investigate sodium-potassium ATPase inhibition, myocardial contractility, and mechanisms of cardiac glycoside action.
• Reference Standard: Employed in analytical laboratories for method development, validation, and calibration in HPLC, LC-MS, and other chromatographic systems.
• Academic and Clinical Research: Supports university and hospital-based research into heart failure therapeutics and drug discovery programs.
• Veterinary Medicine: Potential application in the development of cardiac treatments for animals.

Quality Control

Every batch of Gitaloxin is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide material that meets high-purity standards suitable for research and development purposes. Comprehensive testing includes identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling using advanced analytical techniques. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is supplied with each shipment to ensure full traceability and compliance with your project 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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a desiccated environment to maintain stability and potency. For long-term storage, consider conditions under an inert atmosphere.
