Chemical Structure

Estetrol Impurity 1 CAS CATO-C4X-32501 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Estetrol Impurity 1 is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Estetrol Impurity 1 (CAS CATO-C4X-32501), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C27H30O4, MW 418.52 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Estetrol Impurity 1 (C27H30O4) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Estetrol Impurity 1 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
