Chemical Structure

Iohexol impurity 38 CAS 2253945-66-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Iohexol impurity 38 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Iohexol impurity 38 (CAS 2253945-66-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C17H24I3N3O8, MW 779.10 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Iohexol impurity 38 (C17H24I3N3O8) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine 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. 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).

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 Iohexol impurity 38 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.
