Description

16-Phenyl Tetranor Prostaglandin F2α is a synthetic prostaglandin analog, a key intermediate in the research and development of bioactive lipid compounds. Its value lies in its role as a precise chemical tool for studying prostaglandin receptor activity and metabolic pathways. This high-purity intermediate is essential for pharmaceutical R&D teams, analytical laboratories, and fine chemical manufacturers focused on developing novel therapeutics and advanced biochemical probes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Critical building block in the synthesis of novel prostaglandin-based drug candidates targeting inflammation, ocular pressure, and reproductive health.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and active agent in pharmacological studies to investigate prostaglandin F2α receptor (FP receptor) signaling and function.
• Metabolite Analysis: Serves as a key metabolite analog in the development of analytical methods (e.g., LC-MS/MS) for quantifying prostaglandin pathways in biological samples.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed in custom synthesis and process development for creating specialized prostaglandin derivatives and analogs.
• Cell Culture & In Vitro Studies: Applied in cell-based assays to study the effects of prostaglandin modulation on cellular processes and disease models.

Quality Control

Every batch of 16-Phenyl Tetranor Prostaglandin F2α is manufactured under controlled conditions and undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our quality system is designed to meet the stringent requirements of research and pharmaceutical intermediate applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (typically ≥95% by HPLC), identity confirmation, and impurity profile is provided with each shipment to support your regulatory and research documentation needs.

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 and oxidizing agents.
