Dexamethasone Impurity 33 CAS 75262-69-0 chemical structure

Description

Dexamethasone Impurity 33 (CAS 75262-69-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H27FO4 and a molecular weight of 362.44 g/mol.

Dexamethasone Impurity 33 (C21H27FO4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Dexamethasone Impurity 33 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.
