Description

Prostaglandin F2A CAS NO 551-11-1 is a primary prostaglandin, a potent bioactive lipid mediator derived from arachidonic acid. This compound is critical for research and development in advanced life sciences due to its fundamental role in physiological processes such as smooth muscle contraction and reproductive function. It is an essential raw material and reference standard for pharmaceutical R&D, clinical research, and the synthesis of related analogs.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Serves as a key active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate and a reference standard in the development of drugs targeting ocular hypertension (glaucoma), fertility, and labor induction.
• Biochemical & Clinical Research: Used as a critical tool to study its physiological roles in inflammation, smooth muscle contraction (bronchial, uterine, vascular), and luteolysis in animal and cellular models.
• Veterinary Medicine: Employed in veterinary pharmaceuticals for estrus synchronization and the treatment of conditions like pyometra in livestock.
• Reference Standard Manufacturing: Supplied as a high-purity certified reference material (CRM) for analytical method development, validation, and quality control in regulatory-compliant laboratories.
• Academic & Institutional Research: A fundamental reagent for universities and research institutes exploring prostaglandin biology, signal transduction pathways, and metabolic studies.

Quality Control

Our Prostaglandin F2A is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation by IR and MS, and specific tests for related substances and residual solvents. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail all specifications and test results, ensuring compliance with research and pharmaceutical-grade requirements.

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. The product is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; allow it to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
