Chemical Structure

Methylprednisolone Impurity 72 CAS 1012306-79-4 chemical structure

Description

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.

Methylprednisolone Impurity 72 (CAS 1012306-79-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C22H27IO4 and a molecular weight of 482.35 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C22H27IO4, Methylprednisolone Impurity 72 contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 482.35 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methylprednisolone Impurity 72 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
