Chemical Structure

Chlorprothixene EP Impurity A CAS 4295-65-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Chlorprothixene EP Impurity A is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Chlorprothixene EP Impurity A (CAS 4295-65-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H20ClNOS, MW 333.88 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Chlorprothixene EP Impurity A (C18H20ClNOS) contains a steroid core, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 333.88 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.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

CATO manufactures Chlorprothixene EP Impurity A 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.
