Chemical Structure

Levonorgestrel Impurity 31 CAS CATO-C4X-167731 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.

Levonorgestrel Impurity 31 (CAS CATO-C4X-167731) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H28O2 and a molecular weight of 312.45 g/mol.

Structurally, Levonorgestrel Impurity 31 (C21H28O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 312.45 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).

CATO manufactures Levonorgestrel Impurity 31 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
