Chemical Structure

Estriol Impurity 12 CAS CATO-C4X-163712 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Estriol Impurity 12 (CAS CATO-C4X-163712), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H20O4, MW 300.35 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Estriol Impurity 12 (C18H20O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 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), Estriol Impurity 12 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.
