Description

Gemeprost CAS NO 64318-79-2 is a synthetic prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) analog, a high-purity active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) of significant therapeutic importance. Its primary value lies in its potent uterotonic and cervical ripening properties, making it a critical component in specific medical protocols. This compound is essential for pharmaceutical manufacturers and research institutions developing treatments in obstetrics, gynecology, and related fields.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary use as the active ingredient in medical preparations for pregnancy termination and cervical priming prior to surgical procedures.
• Obstetrics & Gynecology: Used in the management of missed abortion, intrauterine fetal death, and for cervical dilation before first-trimester surgical interventions.
• Clinical Research: Serves as a reference standard and key reagent in pharmacological studies focusing on prostaglandin receptors and smooth muscle contractility.
• Drug Formulation Development: Utilized in the R&D of vaginal suppositories, pessaries, and other localized delivery systems.
