Picosulfate Impurity 17 CAS 109810-81-3 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies Picosulfate Impurity 17 (CAS 109810-81-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H15NO2, MW 277.32 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C18H15NO2, Picosulfate Impurity 17 contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 277.32 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
