6-beta-Exemestane EP Impurity B CAS 121021-51-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

6-beta-Exemestane EP Impurity B (CAS 121021-51-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H26O3 and a molecular weight of 314.42 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 6-beta-Exemestane EP Impurity B (C20H26O3) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
