Oxytocin (CAS 50-56-6)
Peptide Hormone for Reproductive and Therapeutic Applications
Oxytocin (CAS 50-56-6) is a peptide hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland and synthesized in the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus. Composed of nine amino acids, oxytocin forms a cyclic structure through disulfide bonds between cysteine residues at positions 1 and 6. This naturally occurring hormone plays a key role in childbirth, lactation, and a growing number of therapeutic applications. Produced according to In-House, IP, EP, and BP standards, Oxytocin API is a high-quality and reliable option for both research and clinical use.

Oxytocin selectively stimulates uterine smooth muscles, increasing the frequency and strength of contractions. Its effectiveness rises naturally toward the end of pregnancy as estrogen levels increase, preparing the uterus for labor.
Applications
Human Oxytocin plays a critical role in maternal healthcare:
▸ Labor Induction: Initiates and regulates uterine contractions for timely labor
▸ Postpartum Hemorrhage Prevention: Reduces bleeding after childbirth
▸ Uterine Contraction Support: Strengthens contractions during labor, preventing hypotonic uterine inertia
▸ Lactation Support: Can stimulate milk production in women with insufficient lactation
Synthetic Oxytocin is typically administered via injection under medical supervision, ensuring precise dosing and optimal safety.
