Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 263.12 g/mol gives Ketoconazole Impurity 7 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Ketoconazole Impurity 7 (CAS 172032-21-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C11H12Cl2O3 and a molecular weight of 263.12 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Ketoconazole Impurity 7 (C11H12Cl2O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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 Ketoconazole Impurity 7 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.
