Chemical Structure

Clopidogrel Impurity 78 CAS CATO-C4X-102978 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Clopidogrel Impurity 78 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 291.37 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).

CATO supplies Clopidogrel Impurity 78 (CAS CATO-C4X-102978), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H17NO3S, MW 291.37 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

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), Clopidogrel Impurity 78 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.
