Chemical Structure

Clobetasol Propionate EP Impurity E CAS CATO-C4X-159214 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Clobetasol Propionate EP Impurity E is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Clobetasol Propionate EP Impurity E (CAS CATO-C4X-159214), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C25H33ClO4, MW 432.98 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Clobetasol Propionate EP Impurity E (C25H33ClO4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 432.98 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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).

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), Clobetasol Propionate EP Impurity E 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.
