Clopidogrel Impurity 72 CAS CATO-C4X-102972 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 Clopidogrel Impurity 72 (CAS CATO-C4X-102972), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H20ClNO3S, MW 365.87 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Clopidogrel Impurity 72 (C18H20ClNO3S) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Clopidogrel Impurity 72 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.
