Chemical Structure

Apremilast Impurity 77 CAS CATO-C4X-100977 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies Apremilast Impurity 77 (CAS CATO-C4X-100977), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H18O6S, MW 302.34 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Apremilast Impurity 77 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 302.34 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Apremilast Impurity 77 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.
