Chemical Structure

Vortioxetine Impurity 57 CAS CATO-C4X-105657 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Vortioxetine Impurity 57 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine/bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Vortioxetine Impurity 57 (CAS CATO-C4X-105657), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H21ClN2SHBr, MW 413.80 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Vortioxetine Impurity 57 (C18H21ClN2SHBr) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine/bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 413.80 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
