The occurrence of 18,19-Dimethoxy-12-oxo-4,5,9,13-tetraazapentacyclo[11.8.0.0^{3,11}.0^{4,8}.0^{16,21}]henicosa-3(11),5,7,9,16(21),17,19-heptaene-7-carbonitrile is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 18,19-Dimethoxy-12-oxo-4,5,9,13-tetraazapentacyclo[11.8.0.0^{3,11}.0^{4,8}.0^{16,21}]henicosa-3(11),5,7,9,16(21),17,19-heptaene-7-carbonitrile (CAS 685107-18-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H17N5O3, MW 375.38 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 18,19-Dimethoxy-12-oxo-4,5,9,13-tetraazapentacyclo[11.8.0.0^{3,11}.0^{4,8}.0^{16,21}]henicosa-3(11),5,7,9,16(21),17,19-heptaene-7-carbonitrile (C20H17N5O3) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing 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).
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 18,19-Dimethoxy-12-oxo-4,5,9,13-tetraazapentacyclo[11.8.0.0^{3,11}.0^{4,8}.0^{16,21}]henicosa-3(11),5,7,9,16(21),17,19-heptaene-7-carbonitrile 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.
