Description
Elcatonin Product Overview
Elcatonin (C148H244N42O47) is a white to off-white lyophilized powder that dissolves in water and aqueous buffers. It is a 31-amino-acid peptide derived from eel calcitonin, in which a carbon bridge replaces the disulfide bond, which improves stability.
Pharmaceutical companies use it in injections in some Asian markets, especially Japan, for bone-related indications and related pain. Similarly, other peptide APIs in our range include Teriparatide, Octreotide and Buserelin Acetate.
Because it is injected, sterile production with endotoxin control remains required. Zyntex therefore supplies elcatonin only to licensed pharmaceutical companies.
