Description

(+)-Prostaglandin E1 CAS NO 38360-96-2 is a high-purity, biologically active eicosanoid belonging to the prostaglandin family, a critical class of signaling molecules. This compound is essential for research and development in advanced pharmaceuticals due to its potent vasodilatory and anti-inflammatory properties. It is primarily needed by biotechnology firms, pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, and academic research institutions focused on cardiovascular, renal, and reproductive system therapeutics.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of advanced prostaglandin-based drugs and analogs.
• Biomedical Research: Used as a reference standard and active agent in cell biology and pharmacology studies to investigate cellular signaling pathways, inflammation, and vascular tone.
• Cardiovascular Drug Development: Critical for R&D programs targeting treatments for peripheral vascular diseases, pulmonary hypertension, and as a platelet aggregation inhibitor.
• Urology & Nephrology Research: Applied in studies exploring renal blood flow, ductus arteriosus patency, and other smooth muscle-related physiological processes.
• Cell Culture & Differentiation: Utilized in specialized cell culture media to influence cell proliferation and differentiation in stem cell research.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Employed in the production of high-sensitivity diagnostic kits and assay calibrators for clinical testing.

Quality Control

Our (+)-Prostaglandin E1 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets high-grade pharmaceutical and research standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, specific rotation, and residual solvent levels is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere or in a controlled, dry environment to maintain stability and potency. Allow the vial to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation.
