Bisacodyl (Standard)
Bisacodyl (Standard) is the analytical standard of Bisacodyl. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Bisacodyl is a stimulant laxative agent that works directly on the colon to produce a bowel movement. Bisacodyl increases the secretion of PGE2 by direct activation of colon macrophages. PGE2 acts as a paracrine factor and decreases the expression of AQP3 in the colon, which inhibits water transfer from the luminal to the vascular side and leads to a laxative effect.
