Chemical Structure

Difluprednate Impurity 2 CAS 2285-44-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Difluprednate Impurity 2.

CATO supplies Difluprednate Impurity 2 (CAS 2285-44-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H24F2O4, MW 378.41 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Difluprednate Impurity 2 (C21H24F2O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 378.41 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
