Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 346.42 g/mol gives Prednisolone impurity 57 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Prednisolone impurity 57 (CAS 95671-46-8) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H26O5 and a molecular weight of 346.42 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Prednisolone impurity 57 (C20H26O5) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.
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.
