Chemical Structure

Progesterone Impurity 97 CAS CATO-C4X-150297 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Progesterone Impurity 97 (CAS CATO-C4X-150297), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C22H32O2, MW 328.49 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Progesterone Impurity 97 (C22H32O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 328.49 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Progesterone Impurity 97 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.
