Chemical Structure

Lubiprostone Impurity 36 CAS 321457-71-0 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Lubiprostone Impurity 36 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.

Lubiprostone Impurity 36 (CAS 321457-71-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H32F2O4 and a molecular weight of 374.46 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Lubiprostone Impurity 36 (C20H32F2O4) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
