Chemical Structure

Clopidogrel Impurity 91 CAS 317322-48-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Clopidogrel Impurity 91.

CATO supplies Clopidogrel Impurity 91 (CAS 317322-48-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H18ClNO4S, MW 355.84 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Clopidogrel Impurity 91 (C16H18ClNO4S) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 355.84 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Clopidogrel Impurity 91 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.
