Chemical Structure

Etoposide EP Impurity Q CAS 153975-26-9 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Etoposide EP Impurity Q is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 380.35 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO supplies Etoposide EP Impurity Q (CAS 153975-26-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H16O7, MW 380.35 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Etoposide EP Impurity Q meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
