Propranolol EP Impurity C CAS 17216-10-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Propranolol EP Impurity C 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.

Propranolol EP Impurity C (CAS 17216-10-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C23H20O3 and a molecular weight of 344.40 g/mol.

Structurally, Propranolol EP Impurity C (C23H20O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 14.0, corresponding to approximately 14 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 344.40 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.

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.
