Chemical Structure

Finasteride Impurity 31 CAS 1667725-37-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 317.47 g/mol gives Finasteride Impurity 31 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Finasteride Impurity 31 (CAS 1667725-37-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H31NO2, MW 317.47 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Finasteride Impurity 31 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 317.47 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
