Alprostadil 20mcg
Alprostadil is the synthetic form of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), a lipid signaling molecule studied for its activity at prostaglandin E-series receptors coupled to adenylate cyclase. Research has documented that PGE1 exposure increases cyclic AMP in smooth muscle tissue, correlating with smooth muscle relaxation in isolated tissue models (Fullerton et al., J Surg Res, 1994; PMID 7913147). Research-grade material, supplier-vetted supply. For Research Use Only. Not for human consumption.

Description
About this peptide
About This Compound
Alprostadil is the synthetic form of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), a lipid signaling molecule derived from arachidonic acid. It has been documented in primary literature as an agonist at prostaglandin E-series receptors coupled to adenylate cyclase, elevating intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) in smooth muscle tissue. The way a dimmer switch adjusts current to change a room's lighting, cAMP accumulation is thought to shift the contractile state of smooth muscle cells toward relaxation.
Research Context
Fullerton et al. (J Surg Res, 1994; PMID 7913147) documented that PGE1 relaxed isolated rat pulmonary arterial rings via a cAMP-mediated, prostaglandin-receptor pathway, comparing its potency to cGMP-mediated and beta-adrenergic relaxation pathways in the same tissue model. Fullerton et al. (J Surg Res, 1996; PMID 8656622) further characterized PGE1 as an EP2-receptor agonist among several cAMP-linked pathways studied in isolated pulmonary artery rings, noting differences in potency and efficacy across receptor systems. Palmer et al. (J Urol, 1994; PMID 8072124) documented concentration-dependent cAMP accumulation in cultured human smooth muscle cells following PGE1 exposure, and found this cAMP response correlated with the magnitude of smooth muscle relaxation observed in isolated tissue strips.

Shipping & Storage
Handling this material
Shipping
Orders ship within 24 hours. Delivered via USPS Priority or standard FedEx unless expedited shipping is selected at checkout. Tracking is emailed on dispatch and mirrored in your account.
In-transit handling
Lyophilized vials are shelf-stable and ship at ambient temperature. Storage in our warehouse is cooled; shipment does not require refrigeration.
Long-term storage
Lyophilized vials are shelf-stable at ambient temperature; refrigeration (2–8°C) extends shelf life. Refer to the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis for material-specific storage guidance. Once reconstituted, follow the storage instructions on the batch COA. Not for human or animal consumption.
Returns
Because these are research-grade biologics, we cannot accept returns on opened vials. Damaged-in-transit shipments are replaced at no cost within 7 days of delivery.
