Description

Acth (1-17) is a synthetic peptide fragment corresponding to the first 17 amino acids of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). This compound is a critical intermediate and reference standard in pharmaceutical research and development, particularly for studying the structure-activity relationships of ACTH. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors focused on endocrinology, peptide therapeutics, and diagnostic applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis and development of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) analogs and related peptide drugs.
• Biochemical Standard: Serves as a high-purity reference standard for analytical methods, including HPLC and mass spectrometry, in quality control laboratories.
• Endocrinology Studies: Employed in preclinical research to investigate the biological activity, receptor binding, and metabolic pathways of ACTH fragments.
• Diagnostic Development: Utilized in the development and calibration of immunoassays and diagnostic kits for measuring ACTH levels.
• Peptide Chemistry: Acts as a building block for solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) to create longer peptide sequences or modified analogs.
• Academic Research: A vital tool for universities and research institutions studying adrenal function, stress response, and peptide hormone mechanisms.
