Chemical Structure

Olopatadine Impurity 18 CAS 55453-90-2 chemical structure

Description

Olopatadine Impurity 18 (CAS 55453-90-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H16O4 and a molecular weight of 296.32 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C18H16O4, Olopatadine Impurity 18 contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 296.32 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 manufactures Olopatadine Impurity 18 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.
