Chemical Structure

Cilostazol Impurity 6 CAS 87153-04-6 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Cilostazol Impurity 6 (CAS 87153-04-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H27N5O3, MW 385.46 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Cilostazol Impurity 6 (C20H27N5O3) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 385.46 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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.
