Description

Prostacyclin is a potent endogenous eicosanoid and a crucial member of the prostanoid family of bioactive lipids. This compound serves as a fundamental vasodilator and a powerful inhibitor of platelet aggregation, making it a key regulator of vascular homeostasis. It is essential for research and development in the pharmaceutical and life science sectors, particularly for studies related to cardiovascular physiology, pulmonary hypertension, and thrombosis. Global B2B clients in advanced pharmaceutical synthesis, biochemical research, and reference standard production rely on high-purity Prostacyclin for its critical biological activity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of advanced cardiovascular and pulmonary therapeutics.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a critical reference standard and tool compound in studies of vascular biology, platelet function, and eicosanoid signaling pathways.
• Cell Culture & In Vitro Studies: Applied in laboratory settings to investigate its cytoprotective and anti-proliferative effects on various cell types.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Utilized in the development and calibration of diagnostic assays for measuring related metabolic pathways or drug efficacy.
• Life Science Product Formulation: Incorporated into specialized research kits and biochemical reagents for academic and industrial laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Prostacyclin is manufactured and handled under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods and purity assessment by HPLC. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with relevant research and development standards, and custom purity grades are available to meet specific project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere. Due to its hygroscopic and light-sensitive nature, the product should be handled in a controlled, dry environment and allowed to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake and degradation.
