Description

2-Isopropyl-Platelet Activating Factor is a synthetic analog of the potent phospholipid mediator, platelet-activating factor (PAF). This compound is of significant value for biochemical and pharmacological research, serving as a crucial tool for studying PAF receptor interactions and signaling pathways. It is primarily needed by researchers and developers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences sectors for drug discovery and mechanistic studies.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and agonist in studies of PAF receptor (PAFR) biology and signal transduction mechanisms.
• Pharmacological Screening: Employed in high-throughput assays to identify and evaluate potential PAF receptor antagonists for therapeutic development.
• Inflammation Studies: Applied in cellular and animal models to investigate the role of PAF analogs in inflammatory and allergic responses.
• Cardiovascular Research: Utilized to study the effects on platelet aggregation, vascular permeability, and other cardiovascular processes.
• Standards and Calibration: Serves as a certified reference material (CRM) for analytical method development and quality control in related pharmaceutical formulations.

Quality Control

Our 2-Isopropyl-Platelet Activating Factor is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. For long-term storage, solutions should be prepared in appropriate anhydrous solvents and kept at -80°C. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture absorption.
