Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Empagliflozin impurity 222.
Empagliflozin impurity 222 (CAS CATO-C4X-1065222) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C17H18ClIO and a molecular weight of 400.68 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C17H18ClIO, Empagliflozin impurity 222 contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 400.68 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).
Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.
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.
