Chemical Structure

Epothilone B CAS 152044-54-7 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Epothilone B (CAS 152044-54-7, C27H41NO6S) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Epothilone B is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 507.68 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

CATO manufactures Epothilone B under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
