As a certified reference material (CRM), Empagliflozin Impurity 167 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.
As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Empagliflozin Impurity 167 (CAS CATO-C4X-1065167, C17H16BrClO2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Based on its molecular formula C17H16BrClO2, Empagliflozin Impurity 167 contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 367.66 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
