Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (11β)-9-Fluoro-11,17-dihydroxy-21-[(methylsulfonyl)oxy]pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione.
(11β)-9-Fluoro-11,17-dihydroxy-21-[(methylsulfonyl)oxy]pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione (CAS 382-66-1), molecular formula C22H29FO7S and molecular weight 456.52 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a flavonoid core, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, (11β)-9-Fluoro-11,17-dihydroxy-21-[(methylsulfonyl)oxy]pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 456.52 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
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.
