Description:Oxytocin acetate, with the CAS number 6233-83-6, is a synthetic form of the naturally occurring peptide hormone oxytocin, which plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including childbirth and lactation. This compound is characterized by its structure, which consists of a nonapeptide chain with a specific sequence of amino acids, and it is typically administered in its acetate salt form to enhance stability and solubility. Oxytocin acetate exhibits properties such as being a colorless to slightly yellow solution, and it is soluble in water, making it suitable for injection. The substance acts primarily on the oxytocin receptors in the body, leading to uterine contractions during labor and promoting milk ejection during breastfeeding. Additionally, oxytocin is known for its effects on social bonding and emotional responses. Due to its biological significance, oxytocin acetate is utilized in clinical settings, particularly in obstetrics and gynecology, but it must be administered under medical supervision due to potential side effects and contraindications.
