Chemical Structure

Etoposide Impurity 25 CAS CATO-C4X-202425 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 428.05 g/mol gives Etoposide Impurity 25 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Etoposide Impurity 25 (CAS CATO-C4X-202425), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C12H14Cl4O8, MW 428.05 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Etoposide Impurity 25 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 428.05 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
