Chemical Structure

Fluoxetine Impurity 26 CAS 103756-12-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Fluoxetine Impurity 26.

Fluoxetine Impurity 26 (CAS 103756-12-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C19H21NO2 and a molecular weight of 295.38 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Fluoxetine Impurity 26 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 295.38 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures Fluoxetine Impurity 26 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.
