Axitinib Impurity 16 CAS CATO-C4X-107116 chemical structure

Description

Axitinib Impurity 16 (CAS CATO-C4X-107116) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H15IN4 and a molecular weight of 450.28 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Axitinib Impurity 16 (C21H15IN4) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, iodine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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), Axitinib Impurity 16 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.
