Description

20-Ethyl Prostaglandin F2Alpha is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring prostaglandin F2α, modified with an ethyl group at the C-20 position to enhance its metabolic stability and biological activity. This structural modification makes it a valuable tool compound and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate for advanced research and therapeutic development. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, biotechnology firms, and fine chemical manufacturers engaged in the synthesis of novel prostaglandin-based therapeutics targeting areas such as ophthalmology and reproductive health.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of advanced prostaglandin analogs for clinical development.
• Ophthalmic Research: Investigation into intraocular pressure regulation for potential glaucoma treatment applications.
• Reproductive Health Studies: Used in research concerning luteolysis and the regulation of reproductive cycles.
• Biochemical Standard: Serves as a high-purity reference standard for analytical method development and validation.
• Cell Signaling Research: Tool for studying FP receptor-mediated signaling pathways and cellular responses.
• Veterinary Pharmaceutical Development: Potential use in developing treatments for animal reproductive management.

Quality Control

Our 20-Ethyl Prostaglandin F2Alpha is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for pharmaceutical research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a freezer at -20°C or below. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed under an inert atmosphere or with desiccant to maintain stability. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
