Hydrocortisone Impurity N1 CAS 3331-69-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

Hydrocortisone Impurity N1 (CAS 3331-69-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C25H34O7 and a molecular weight of 446.53 g/mol.

Hydrocortisone Impurity N1 (C25H34O7) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Hydrocortisone Impurity N1 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.
