Chemical Structure

Enzalutamide Impurity 16 CAS 915087-16-0 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 Enzalutamide Impurity 16 (CAS 915087-16-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H17F3N4O2S, MW 446.45 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Enzalutamide Impurity 16 (C21H17F3N4O2S) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
