Chemical Structure

Methylprednisolone Impurity 77 CAS CATO-C4X-191977 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methylprednisolone Impurity 77.

CATO supplies Methylprednisolone Impurity 77 (CAS CATO-C4X-191977), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C27H38O6Si, MW 486.67 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methylprednisolone Impurity 77 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 486.67 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methylprednisolone Impurity 77 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.
