Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 313.91 g/mol gives Fingolimod Impurity 17 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Fingolimod Impurity 17 (CAS 168560-42-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H31NOHCl, MW 313.91 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Fingolimod Impurity 17 (C18H31NOHCl) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Fingolimod Impurity 17 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
