Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Vortioxetine Impurity 56.
CATO supplies Vortioxetine Impurity 56 (CAS CATO-C4X-105656), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H22N2S, MW 298.45 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Vortioxetine Impurity 56 (C18H22N2S) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality. 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).
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 manufactures Vortioxetine Impurity 56 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
