Testosterone Propionate EP Impurity D CAS 977-32-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Testosterone Propionate EP Impurity D (CAS 977-32-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C22H30O3, MW 342.47 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Testosterone Propionate EP Impurity D (C22H30O3) contains 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 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), Testosterone Propionate EP Impurity D 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.
