Chemical Structure

Megestrol Acetate EP Impurity E CAS 982-89-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Megestrol Acetate EP Impurity E is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Megestrol Acetate EP Impurity E (CAS 982-89-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C24H30O4, MW 382.49 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Megestrol Acetate EP Impurity E (C24H30O4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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).

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.

CATO manufactures Megestrol Acetate 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.
