Betamethasone Impurity 128 CAS CATO-C4X-1437128 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies Betamethasone Impurity 128 (CAS CATO-C4X-1437128), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H27FO4, MW 362.44 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Betamethasone Impurity 128 (C21H27FO4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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.

CATO manufactures Betamethasone Impurity 128 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.
