Description

15(R)-15-Methyl Prostaglandin F2Alpha Methyl Ester is a synthetic analog of prostaglandin F2α, a potent bioactive lipid mediator. This methylated derivative offers enhanced metabolic stability and specific receptor activity, making it a valuable tool for advanced research and development. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical researchers, biochemists, and process development scientists working in drug discovery, reproductive biology, and the study of smooth muscle physiology.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for analytical method development, validation, and quality control in drug manufacturing.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a key agonist for studying FP prostaglandin receptor signaling pathways, cellular responses, and physiological effects.
• Drug Discovery & Development: Acts as a crucial intermediate or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) precursor in the synthesis of novel therapeutic agents targeting ocular pressure, reproductive health, and other conditions.
• Veterinary Medicine: Employed in research for developing treatments related to estrus synchronization and parturition induction in livestock.
• Academic Research: A fundamental tool in university and institutional labs for investigating the role of prostaglandins in inflammation, smooth muscle contraction, and other biological processes.

Quality Control

Every batch of 15(R)-15-Methyl Prostaglandin F2Alpha Methyl Ester is manufactured and tested under strict quality management systems. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and MS, to ensure high chemical purity, correct stereochemistry, and batch-to-batch consistency suitable for research and development applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
