Chemical Structure

Tretinoin Impurity 8 CAS CATO-C4X-19698 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Tretinoin Impurity 8 (C23H32O2) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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).

Tretinoin Impurity 8 (CAS CATO-C4X-19698) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C23H32O2 and a molecular weight of 340.50 g/mol.

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.

CATO manufactures Tretinoin Impurity 8 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.
