Chemical Structure

Empagliflozin impurity 266 CAS CATO-C4X-1065266 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Empagliflozin impurity 266 (CAS CATO-C4X-1065266, C18H18ClIO2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Structurally, Empagliflozin impurity 266 (C18H18ClIO2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/iodine 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 428.69 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 266 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.
