Erastin (CAS 571203-78-6), molecular formula C30H31ClN4O4 and molecular weight 547.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Erastin is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 547.04 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
