Sulindac Impurity 8 CAS 61812-45-1 chemical structure

Description

Sulindac Impurity 8 (CAS 61812-45-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H17FO2S and a molecular weight of 340.41 g/mol.

Structurally, Sulindac Impurity 8 (C20H17FO2S) contains a steroid core, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 340.41 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Sulindac Impurity 8 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.
