Ketoprofen Impurity 37 CAS 18908-59-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Ketoprofen Impurity 37 (CAS 18908-59-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C10H9NO2, MW 175.18 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Ketoprofen Impurity 37 (C10H9NO2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ketoprofen Impurity 37 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.
