Chemical Structure

Ketoprofen Impurity 43 CAS 34040-63-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 184.62 g/mol gives Ketoprofen Impurity 43 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ketoprofen Impurity 43 (CAS 34040-63-6) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C9H9ClO2 and a molecular weight of 184.62 g/mol.

Ketoprofen Impurity 43 (C9H9ClO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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.

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.
