Progesterone EP Impurity B (CAS 145-06-2) is a critical reference standard used in pharmaceutical quality control to ensure the purity of progesterone APIs. It serves as an identified degradation product or synthetic by-product, characterized by its specific molecular structure C21H30O3. This compound is typically manufactured via controlled oxidation or side-reaction pathways during steroid synthesis.
Store under inert atmosphere at -20°C to prevent degradation. Handle only in certified laboratories with appropriate PPE due to potential hormonal activity and skin absorption risks. Strictly prohibited for direct clinical administration.
