The occurrence of Dexamethasone impurity 93 is closely related to a phosphate ester group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Dexamethasone impurity 93 (CAS 2414-45-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C22H32FO8P, MW 474.46 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Based on its molecular formula C22H32FO8P, Dexamethasone impurity 93 contains a phosphate ester group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 474.46 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
CATO manufactures Dexamethasone impurity 93 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.
