Chemical Structure

Betamethasone Impurity N25 CAS 5534-14-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Betamethasone Impurity N25.

Betamethasone Impurity N25 (CAS 5534-14-5) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C26H35FO6 and a molecular weight of 462.55 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Betamethasone Impurity N25 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 462.55 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), Betamethasone Impurity N25 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.
