Chemical Structure

Hydrocortisone EP Impurity D CAS 53-35-0 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Hydrocortisone EP Impurity D is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 378.46 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

Hydrocortisone EP Impurity D (CAS 53-35-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H30O6 and a molecular weight of 378.46 g/mol.

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.

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