Chemical Structure

Testosterone EP Impurity I CAS 2484-30-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Testosterone EP Impurity I is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Testosterone EP Impurity I (CAS 2484-30-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C19H26O2, MW 286.41 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Testosterone EP Impurity I is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 286.41 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.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Testosterone EP Impurity I meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
