Chemical Structure

Medroxyprogesterone Acetate EP Impurity I CAS CATO-C4X-14573 chemical structure

Description

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.

Medroxyprogesterone Acetate EP Impurity I (CAS CATO-C4X-14573) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C22H32O3 and a molecular weight of 344.49 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C22H32O3, Medroxyprogesterone Acetate EP Impurity I contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 344.49 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
