Chemical Structure

Clofazimine Impurity 11 CAS 74002-27-0 chemical structure

Description

Clofazimine Impurity 11 (C12H9ClN2O2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, 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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Clofazimine Impurity 11 (CAS 74002-27-0, C12H9ClN2O2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

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 Clofazimine Impurity 11 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.
