Chemical Structure

Dutasteride EP Impurity E (Dutasteride 17-alpha-epimer) CAS 2102935-76-0 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Dutasteride EP Impurity E (Dutasteride 17-alpha-epimer) (CAS 2102935-76-0, C27H30F6N2O2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Dutasteride EP Impurity E (Dutasteride 17-alpha-epimer) is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 528.53 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
