Chemical Structure

Empagliflozin Impurity 169 CAS 637-87-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Empagliflozin Impurity 169.

Empagliflozin Impurity 169 (CAS 637-87-6) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C6H4ClI and a molecular weight of 238.45 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Empagliflozin Impurity 169 (C6H4ClI) is characterized by chlorine/iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
