What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

MILTEFOSINE

MILTEFOSINE (CAS 58066-85-6) – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Miltefosine (CAS 58066-85-6) is an antiparasitic drug primarily used in the treatment of leishmaniasis, including visceral leishmaniasis, cutaneous leishmaniasis, and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania species. It is the first oral medication approved for the treatment of leishmaniasis, working by disrupting the membrane integrity of Leishmania parasites, ultimately preventing their replication and growth. Miltefosine is also being investigated for its anticancer potential, as it has shown efficacy in inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. This white to off-white crystalline powder is available in pharmaceutical grades (IP/BP/USP/EP), ensuring high purity for use in oral tablets, capsules, and injectable solutions. We supply Miltefosine to pharmaceutical manufacturers, healthcare providers, and research organizations globally, ensuring reliable and high-quality supply to USA, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Chile.
