Chemical Structure

Clopidogrel Impurity 63 CAS CATO-C4X-102963 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Clopidogrel Impurity 63 (C14H13ClNSCl) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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 process- or degradation-related impurity, Clopidogrel Impurity 63 (CAS CATO-C4X-102963, C14H13ClNSCl) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

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.
