Chemical Structure

Etoricoxib Impurity 19 CAS 646459-41-8 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 Etoricoxib Impurity 19.

CATO supplies Etoricoxib Impurity 19 (CAS 646459-41-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H16ClN3O2S, MW 409.89 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Etoricoxib Impurity 19 (C21H16ClN3O2S) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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), Etoricoxib Impurity 19 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.
