Chemical Structure

Ketoconazole Impurity 8 (Mixture of diastereomers) CAS 68751-57-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Ketoconazole Impurity 8 (Mixture of diastereomers) (CAS 68751-57-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C11H11BrCl2O3, MW 342.01 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Ketoconazole Impurity 8 (Mixture of diastereomers) (C11H11BrCl2O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), Ketoconazole Impurity 8 (Mixture of diastereomers) 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.
