Chemical Structure

Hydrocortisone 21-phosphate CAS 3863-59-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 442.44 g/mol gives Hydrocortisone 21-phosphate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Hydrocortisone 21-phosphate (CAS 3863-59-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C21H31O8P and a molecular weight of 442.44 g/mol.

Hydrocortisone 21-phosphate (C21H31O8P) contains a phosphate ester group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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 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.
