Description

Thyroid CAS NO 8028-36-2 is a standardized, desiccated, and defatted powder derived from the thyroid glands of domesticated animals used for food. This product is a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) used in the formulation of thyroid hormone replacement therapies. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors requiring a reliable, high-purity source of natural thyroid hormones, including thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), for the treatment of conditions such as hypothyroidism and goiter.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Primary API in the production of thyroid hormone replacement tablets and capsules for treating hypothyroidism.
• Clinical Research: Used as a reference standard or active component in preclinical and clinical studies investigating thyroid function and endocrine disorders.
• Veterinary Medicine: Employed in the formulation of treatments for hypothyroidism in companion animals and livestock.
• Diagnostic Aid: Serves as a component in certain diagnostic kits and assays used to calibrate equipment for measuring thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels.
• Dietary Supplements: Used in the manufacture of specialized nutraceutical products under strict regulatory oversight, where applicable.
• Biochemical Production: Source material for the extraction and purification of individual thyroid hormones (T3, T4) for specialized pharmaceutical applications.
