Progesterone Impurity 45 CAS CATO-C4X-150245 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.

Progesterone Impurity 45 (CAS CATO-C4X-150245) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C22H32O2 and a molecular weight of 328.49 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C22H32O2, Progesterone Impurity 45 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 328.49 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Progesterone Impurity 45 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.
