Chemical Structure

Alprazolam Impurity 4 CAS 27610-14-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Alprazolam Impurity 4 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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Alprazolam Impurity 4 (CAS 27610-14-6, C14H12ClN3O) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Alprazolam Impurity 4 is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 273.72 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
