Chemical Structure

Estradiol Impurity 25 CAS 4245-41-4 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Estradiol Impurity 25 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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Estradiol Impurity 25 (CAS 4245-41-4, C20H26O3) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Structurally, Estradiol Impurity 25 (C20H26O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 314.42 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
