Chemical Structure

Methylprednisolone impurity 85 CAS CATO-C4X-191985 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.

CATO supplies Methylprednisolone impurity 85 (CAS CATO-C4X-191985), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C26H34O6, MW 442.54 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Methylprednisolone impurity 85 (C26H34O6) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 442.54 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 Methylprednisolone impurity 85 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.
