The occurrence of Clindamycin Impurity 73 is closely related to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Clindamycin Impurity 73 (CAS 1123211-66-4 (free base)), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C32H59ClN2O6SHCl, MW 671.80 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Clindamycin Impurity 73 (C32H59ClN2O6SHCl) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 671.80 g/mol, it falls into the high-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.
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.
