Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 730.93 g/mol gives Methylprednisolone impurity 92 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Methylprednisolone impurity 92 (CAS CATO-C4X-191992), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C44H58O9, MW 730.93 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Methylprednisolone impurity 92 (C44H58O9) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
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.
