18,19-Dimethoxy-6-methyl-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-heptaen-12-one (CAS 861209-62-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H20N4O3 and a molecular weight of 364.40 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 18,19-Dimethoxy-6-methyl-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-heptaen-12-one (C20H20N4O3) 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
