Chemical Structure

Sulpiride impurity 15 CAS 77718-16-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Sulpiride impurity 15 (CAS 77718-16-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H8ClNO4S, MW 249.67 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Sulpiride impurity 15 (C8H8ClNO4S) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 249.67 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
