Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 454.60 g/mol gives Withanolide B distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Withanolide B (CAS 56973-41-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C28H38O5 and a molecular weight of 454.60 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Withanolide B (C28H38O5) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
