Technical identifier note: The supplied COA identifies the material as Oxytocin Acetate 10 mg, while its LC-MS identity result is reported as Oxytocin. The COA does not provide a CAS number, molecular formula, molecular weight, or PubChem identifier for the specific acetate material.
For that reason, I would not populate those fields from an unrelated oxytocin database entry until the exact salt/solvate specification supplied by your manufacturer is confirmed. That keeps your technical information defensible.
Analytical & Testing
Each tested batch of Oxytocin Acetate undergoes analytical evaluation to verify purity, identity, and analytical consistency. A corresponding Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available for the tested lot.
For the current OPTMZ Peptides lot, independent analytical testing reported:
- Identity (LC-MS): Oxytocin — Confirmed
- Purity (HPLC-UV): 99.62%
- Measured Net Content: 10.39 mg
- Appearance: White lyophilized powder
- Endotoxin Replicate 1: Pass
- Endotoxin Replicate 2: Pass
- Assay Sensitivity: ≤0.05 EU/mL
- Lot: OT10
The laboratory reports HPLC with UV detection coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Endotoxin testing was performed using the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate assay in accordance with USP <85> under validated laboratory conditions.
Handling & Storage
Oxytocin Acetate should be handled by qualified professionals in controlled laboratory environments. Appropriate storage conditions should be maintained to preserve peptide stability and structural integrity.
Avoid unnecessary exposure to heat, moisture, and repeated temperature fluctuations. Preparation, handling, and storage procedures should follow validated laboratory protocols appropriate to the intended experimental application.
Research Context
Oxytocin has been extensively investigated in laboratory models involving neuroendocrine biology, receptor signaling, neuroscience, and cellular communication.
Research areas include:
- Oxytocin receptor (OXTR) signaling
- G-protein-coupled receptor biology
- Neuroendocrine signaling
- Central nervous system signaling
- Cellular calcium signaling
- Neuropeptide-receptor interactions
- Social and behavioral neuroscience models
- Reproductive physiology research
- Smooth-muscle signaling
- Molecular mechanisms of peptide hormones
These areas represent experimental research contexts and do not establish therapeutic efficacy or safety for human use.
Research Application Scope
Oxytocin Acetate continues to be evaluated in experimental biology, particularly within studies involving oxytocin receptor activation, neuropeptide signaling, neuroendocrine pathways, GPCR biology, intracellular signaling, and peptide-receptor interactions.
Its compact nine-amino-acid cyclic structure makes oxytocin an important model compound for laboratory investigations involving peptide-hormone structure, receptor binding, and downstream cellular signaling.
