Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 392.92 g/mol gives Mometasone EP Impurity M distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Mometasone EP Impurity M (CAS 57780-86-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C22H29ClO4, MW 392.92 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Mometasone EP Impurity M is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 392.92 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
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.
