Probucol Impurity 14 CAS 31121-17-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Probucol Impurity 14 (CAS 31121-17-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C28H42O2S4, MW 538.89 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Probucol Impurity 14 (C28H42O2S4) contains a steroid core, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
