Description

Oxytocin, (1-Desaminopenicillamine, 8-α-Hydroxyisocaproic Acid) is a synthetic analog of the endogenous neuropeptide hormone oxytocin, designed for enhanced stability and receptor specificity. This compound is critical for research and development in neuroendocrinology and reproductive biology, offering a valuable tool for studying peptide hormone signaling and interactions. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D teams, academic research institutions, and biotechnology companies focused on developing novel therapeutics for neurological and reproductive disorders.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a key reference standard and active ingredient in preclinical studies for neuroendocrine and reproductive system therapeutics.
• Neuroscientific Studies: Investigation of social bonding, stress response, and maternal behaviors in animal models.
• Biochemical Assay Development: Used in the development and validation of high-throughput screening (HTS) assays for oxytocin receptor agonists and antagonists.
• Peptide Chemistry & Drug Design: Serves as a structural template for designing novel peptide analogs with improved pharmacokinetic profiles.
• Academic Research: Fundamental research into the physiological and pathological roles of oxytocinergic systems.
• Veterinary Medicine Research: Exploration of applications in animal reproduction and behavior management.

Quality Control

Our Oxytocin analog is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, mass spectrometry for identity confirmation, and residual solvent analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all critical quality attributes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at a controlled room temperature between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F) or as specified on the label or COA. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept in a dry environment. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
