Testosterone Impurity 71 CAS CATO-C4X-243271 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Testosterone Impurity 71 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.

CATO supplies Testosterone Impurity 71 (CAS CATO-C4X-243271), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C30H48O3, MW 456.70 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C30H48O3, Testosterone Impurity 71 contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 456.70 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
