Chemical Structure

Indacaterol Impurity 80 CAS 869868-63-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Indacaterol Impurity 80 is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Indacaterol Impurity 80 (CAS 869868-63-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H16ClNO3, MW 329.78 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C18H16ClNO3, Indacaterol Impurity 80 contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 329.78 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
