Chemical Structure

Abiraterone Impurity N6 CAS 853-23-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Abiraterone Impurity N6.

Abiraterone Impurity N6 (CAS 853-23-6) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H30O3 and a molecular weight of 330.46 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Abiraterone Impurity N6 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 330.46 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Abiraterone Impurity N6 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.
