Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Montelukast Impurity 39.
CATO supplies Montelukast Impurity 39 (CAS 769-28-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H8N2O, MW 148.16 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Montelukast Impurity 39 is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 148.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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), Montelukast Impurity 39 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.
