CATO supplies Methylprednisolone Hydrogen Succinate EP Impurity B (CAS 77074-42-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C26H34O8, MW 474.54 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Methylprednisolone Hydrogen Succinate EP Impurity B (C26H34O8) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 474.54 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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), Methylprednisolone Hydrogen Succinate EP Impurity B 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.
