Chemical Structure

Fluticasone Impurity 40 CAS 25256-97-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 350.40 g/mol gives Fluticasone Impurity 40 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Fluticasone Impurity 40 (CAS 25256-97-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H24F2O3, MW 350.40 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Fluticasone Impurity 40 (C20H24F2O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

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.
