Chemical Structure

Etoricoxib Impurity 15 CAS 307531-96-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Etoricoxib Impurity 15 is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Etoricoxib Impurity 15 (CAS 307531-96-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C17H15NO3S, MW 313.37 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Etoricoxib Impurity 15 (C17H15NO3S) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 11.0, corresponding to approximately 11 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 313.37 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
