Chemical Structure

Montelukast Impurity 57 CAS 30220-25-8 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Montelukast Impurity 57 (CAS 30220-25-8, C8H7Cl3) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Montelukast Impurity 57 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 209.50 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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 Montelukast Impurity 57 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.
