Chemical Structure

Empagliflozin Impurity 136 CAS CATO-C4X-1065136 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Empagliflozin Impurity 136 is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Empagliflozin Impurity 136 (CAS CATO-C4X-1065136), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C17H16Br2O2, MW 412.12 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Empagliflozin Impurity 136 (C17H16Br2O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 412.12 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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), Empagliflozin Impurity 136 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.
