Description

Oxytocin, Penicillamyl(1)-Thr(4)- is a synthetic peptide derivative of the neurohypophysial hormone oxytocin, modified with a penicillamyl group at the first position and a threonine at the fourth. This compound is of significant interest in biochemical and pharmaceutical research for studying hormone-receptor interactions and developing novel therapeutic agents. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical development companies focused on neuroendocrinology, peptide chemistry, and drug discovery.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and tool compound for investigating oxytocin receptor binding, signaling pathways, and structure-activity relationships (SAR).
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a key intermediate or analog in the research and development of novel peptide-based therapeutics targeting neurological and reproductive disorders.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Employed in the production of specialized reagents and kits for hormone detection and analysis in clinical and research settings.
• Academic Studies: Utilized in university and institutional laboratories for advanced studies in neurochemistry, endocrinology, and molecular biology.
