Mometasone Impurity 42 (CAS CATO-C4X-170442) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C27H30Cl2O6 and a molecular weight of 521.43 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Mometasone Impurity 42 (C27H30Cl2O6) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
