Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Apremilast Impurity 42 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 205.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
CATO supplies Apremilast Impurity 42 (CAS 6296-53-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C10H7NO4, MW 205.17 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
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.
