Description

Carbachol is a synthetic choline ester and a potent parasympathomimetic agent that mimics the action of acetylcholine. This compound is valued for its high stability and resistance to hydrolysis by cholinesterases, making it a critical tool in both research and therapeutic applications. It is primarily sought by the pharmaceutical industry for ophthalmic solutions and by life science researchers for studying cholinergic systems.

Application

• Ophthalmic Surgery: Used in miotic eye drops to constrict the pupil and reduce intraocular pressure during procedures like cataract surgery.
• Glaucoma Treatment: An active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in formulations for managing open-angle glaucoma.
• Pharmacological Research: A standard cholinergic agonist used in in vitro and in vivo studies to investigate muscarinic and nicotinic receptor functions.
• Diagnostic Agent: Employed in diagnostic tests for autonomic nervous system function.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in veterinary ophthalmic preparations for similar indications as in human medicine.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a key intermediate or reference standard in the synthesis of other cholinergic compounds.

Quality Control

Our Carbachol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical and research use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation.
