Chemical Structure

Clopidogrel Impurity 15 CAS 40412-06-4 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies Clopidogrel Impurity 15 (CAS 40412-06-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H14O3S2, MW 282.38 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C13H14O3S2, Clopidogrel Impurity 15 contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 282.38 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Clopidogrel Impurity 15 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.
