CATO supplies Aprepitant Impurity 22 (CAS 934540-48-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H16F7NO2, MW 435.34 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Aprepitant Impurity 22 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 435.34 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Aprepitant Impurity 22 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
