Description
Terlipressin Product Overview
Terlipressin (C52H74N16O15S2) is a white to off-white lyophilized peptide powder. It consists of lysine vasopressin with three additional glycine residues. In the body, these are gradually cleaved off, releasing the active hormone, so it acts as a prodrug with a longer effect than Vasopressin.
Pharmaceutical companies use it as the acetate salt in powders and solutions for injection, used in hospital settings, particularly in hepatology and intensive care. Because it is supplied in small vials, production requires sterile processing with low endotoxin levels.
Zyntex supplies it from qualified peptide API producers, only to licensed pharmaceutical companies. Related peptide APIs in our range include Desmopressin, Oxytocin Acetate and Carbetocin.
