Chemical Structure

Prednisolone Impurity 16 CAS CATO-C4X-173716 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 422.41 g/mol gives Prednisolone Impurity 16 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Prednisolone Impurity 16 (CAS CATO-C4X-173716, C21H27O7P) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Structurally, Prednisolone Impurity 16 (C21H27O7P) contains a flavonoid core, a phosphate ester group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.5, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 422.41 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
