The occurrence of Loteprednol Impurity 8 is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Loteprednol Impurity 8 (CAS 129260-79-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H27ClO5, MW 394.89 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Loteprednol Impurity 8 (C21H27ClO5) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
