Chemical Structure

17-Hydroxy-5β-pregnane-3,11,20-trione CAS 10455-93-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 17-Hydroxy-5β-pregnane-3,11,20-trione is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 17-Hydroxy-5β-pregnane-3,11,20-trione (CAS 10455-93-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C21H30O4, MW 346.46 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

17-Hydroxy-5β-pregnane-3,11,20-trione (C21H30O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
