Chemical Structure

Indometacin Impurity 63 CAS 86265-16-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Indometacin Impurity 63 is closely related to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Indometacin Impurity 63 (CAS 86265-16-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C7H9N2O4SNa, MW 240.21 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Indometacin Impurity 63 (C7H9N2O4SNa) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.5, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 240.21 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 Indometacin Impurity 63 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.
