Levonorgestrel EP Impurity A CAS 1260525-53-8

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 310.43 g/mol gives Levonorgestrel EP Impurity A distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Levonorgestrel EP Impurity A (CAS 1260525-53-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H26O2, MW 310.43 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Levonorgestrel EP Impurity A (C21H26O2) 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.

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.
