Mometasone Furoate EP Impurity F is a hydroxylated derivative of the parent corticosteroid, featuring a furan-2-ylmethyl ester moiety and two chlorine substituents at C-6 and C-9 positions. The compound exhibits a 11ฮฒ-hydroxy group and a 16ฮฑ-methyl-3-oxo-ฮ1-androstane skeleton, differing from mometasone by a hydroxyl substitution at C-21. This impurity arises via oxidative degradation pathways during synthesis, introducing a labile hydroxyl group that enhances polarity. It serves as an HPLC reference standard for quantifying process-related impurities in mometasone formulations.
