Chemical Structure

Celecoxib Impurity 70 CAS 6397-71-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 268.35 g/mol gives Celecoxib Impurity 70 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Celecoxib Impurity 70 (CAS 6397-71-3, C18H20O2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Structurally, Celecoxib Impurity 70 (C18H20O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 268.35 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Celecoxib Impurity 70 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.
