Chemical Structure

Medroxyprogesterone Impurity N1 CAS 16319-93-0 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

CATO supplies Medroxyprogesterone Impurity N1 (CAS 16319-93-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C25H36O4, MW 400.55 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Medroxyprogesterone Impurity N1 (C25H36O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 400.55 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Medroxyprogesterone Impurity N1 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.
