Fluocinolone Acetonide impurity 21 CAS CATO-C4X-238121 chemical structure

Description

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.

Fluocinolone Acetonide impurity 21 (CAS CATO-C4X-238121) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H26F2O6 and a molecular weight of 412.42 g/mol.

Fluocinolone Acetonide impurity 21 (C21H26F2O6) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
