Formoterol Impurity 71 CAS 71250-20-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Formoterol Impurity 71 (CAS 71250-20-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C17H21NOHCl, MW 291.82 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Formoterol Impurity 71 (C17H21NOHCl) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures Formoterol Impurity 71 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
