Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 132.20 g/mol gives Cladribine Impurity 3 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Cladribine Impurity 3 (CAS 77-73-6) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C10H12 and a molecular weight of 132.20 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Cladribine Impurity 3 (C10H12) is characterized by 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 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 Cladribine Impurity 3 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.
