Chemical Structure

Empagliflozin Impurity 277 CAS CATO-C4X-1065277 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 381.69 g/mol gives Empagliflozin Impurity 277 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Empagliflozin Impurity 277 (CAS CATO-C4X-1065277) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H18BrClO2 and a molecular weight of 381.69 g/mol.

Structurally, Empagliflozin Impurity 277 (C18H18BrClO2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/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 381.69 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.

CATO manufactures Empagliflozin Impurity 277 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
