Chemical Structure

Montelukast Impurity 49 CAS CATO-C4X-103149 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Montelukast Impurity 49 is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Montelukast Impurity 49 (CAS CATO-C4X-103149), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C29H28ClNO2, MW 457.99 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Montelukast Impurity 49 (C29H28ClNO2) contains a steroid core, an amide 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. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), Montelukast Impurity 49 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.
