Description

Prostaglandin I3 is a specialized prostanoid compound of significant interest in biochemical and pharmacological research. This molecule matters for its role as a structural analog and potential research tool for studying the prostacyclin (PGI2) pathway, which is central to vascular biology and platelet aggregation. It is needed by researchers and developers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science sectors for advanced studies in cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and as a reference standard.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and investigational tool in studies of eicosanoid metabolism and signaling pathways.
• Pharmacological Studies: Employed in in vitro and in vivo research to explore analogs of prostacyclin and their effects on vascular tone and platelet function.
• Drug Discovery & Development: Serves as a key intermediate or reference compound in the synthesis and development of novel therapeutic agents targeting cardiovascular and inflammatory conditions.
• Academic Research: Utilized in university and institutional labs for fundamental research into prostaglandin biology and receptor interactions.
• Analytical Standard: Acts as a high-purity standard for quality control and method development in analytical laboratories using techniques like HPLC and LC-MS.

Quality Control

Our Prostaglandin I3 is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization, including identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods and purity assessment by chromatographic techniques. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

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. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
