Chemical Structure

Clindamycin Phosphate EP Impurity E CAS 18323-44-9 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.

Clindamycin Phosphate EP Impurity E (CAS 18323-44-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H33ClN2O5S and a molecular weight of 424.98 g/mol.

Clindamycin Phosphate EP Impurity E (C18H33ClN2O5S) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Clindamycin Phosphate EP Impurity E 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.
