Pioglitazone EP Impurity E CAS 868754-42-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Pioglitazone EP Impurity E 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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Pioglitazone EP Impurity E (CAS 868754-42-1, C20H25NO3) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Pioglitazone EP Impurity E is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 327.42 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.
