Clopidogrel Impurity 18 CAS 444728-13-6

Description

The occurrence of Clopidogrel Impurity 18 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, 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.

Clopidogrel Impurity 18 (CAS 444728-13-6) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C15H15ClN2OS and a molecular weight of 306.81 g/mol.

Structurally, Clopidogrel Impurity 18 (C15H15ClN2OS) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, 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 306.81 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.

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.
