Chemical Structure

Progesterone EP Impurity I (S-isomer) CAS 3986-89-8 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Progesterone EP Impurity I (S-isomer) (CAS 3986-89-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C22H32O2, MW 328.49 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Progesterone EP Impurity I (S-isomer) (C22H32O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 328.49 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Progesterone EP Impurity I (S-isomer) 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.
