Chemical Structure

Testosterone Impurity 55 CAS CATO-C4X-243255 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 Testosterone Impurity 55 (CAS CATO-C4X-243255), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C23H34O3, MW 358.51 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Testosterone Impurity 55 (C23H34O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 358.51 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO manufactures Testosterone Impurity 55 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.
