Chemical Structure

Fluocortolone Impurity 12 CAS 66233-46-3 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Fluocortolone Impurity 12 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.

Fluocortolone Impurity 12 (CAS 66233-46-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C27H36F2O5 and a molecular weight of 478.57 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Fluocortolone Impurity 12 (C27H36F2O5) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. 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 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).

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.
