The molecular framework of Lubiprostone Impurity 43 (C20H32F2O5) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
Lubiprostone Impurity 43 (CAS CATO-C4X-113643) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H32F2O5 and a molecular weight of 390.46 g/mol.
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 Lubiprostone Impurity 43 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.
