17-Methyl-5a-androstane-3b,17b-diol-d5 CAS 853904-65-1 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 17-Methyl-5a-androstane-3b,17b-diol-d5.

17-Methyl-5a-androstane-3b,17b-diol-d5 (CAS 853904-65-1), molecular formula C20H29D5O2 and molecular weight 311.51 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

17-Methyl-5a-androstane-3b,17b-diol-d5 (C20H29D5O2) contains deuterium isotope labeling, a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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. 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 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.

CATO manufactures 17-Methyl-5a-androstane-3b,17b-diol-d5 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
