Description

trans-Carboprost CAS NO 76498-29-8 is a synthetic prostaglandin analog, specifically the 15-methyl derivative of PGF2α. This compound is of significant commercial and pharmaceutical importance due to its potent biological activity as a uterotonic agent. It is primarily required by the pharmaceutical industry for the development of therapeutic agents, particularly in the fields of obstetrics and gynecology.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Ingredient (API): Primary use as the key component in formulations for inducing labor and managing postpartum hemorrhage.
• Obstetric Therapeutics: Used in the development of drugs for pregnancy termination and the treatment of missed abortion.
• Veterinary Medicine: Employed in veterinary pharmaceuticals for estrus synchronization and the treatment of pyometra in animals.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a critical reference standard and probe in pharmacological studies of prostaglandin receptors and signaling pathways.
• Formulation Development: Used in R&D for creating stable injectable or topical formulations requiring precise prostaglandin activity.
