Alprostadil 2mcg

Alprostadil 2mcg is the synthetic pharmaceutical form of Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), a naturally occurring eicosanoid with the chemical formula C20H34O5 and CAS registry number 745-65-3 . This compound exerts its biological effects by binding to specific PGE receptors on the cell membrane, activating adenylate cyclase and leading to the intracellular accumulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). This signaling cascade is well-documented to induce smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation in vascular tissue models, while simultaneously inhibiting platelet aggregation by modulating calcium influx .

In controlled laboratory settings, this 2mcg preparation is an essential tool for researchers investigating the mechanisms of vasoregulation, erectile physiology, and microvascular blood flow. Preclinical studies have established that Alprostadil is rapidly metabolized, primarily in pulmonary tissue models, with a reported half-life of approximately 5-10 minutes . Due to this short half-life and the high purity required for reproducible results, this product is manufactured under stringent quality control standards and supplied as a lyophilized powder to maintain stability. Researchers should note that Alprostadil is highly sensitive to moisture and temperature; therefore, reconstitution in an appropriate solvent must be performed immediately prior to experimental application. This product is intended solely for laboratory research use and is not approved for human or veterinary therapeutic administration. Store lyophilized powder at -20°C and protect from light .
