Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Tofacitinib Impurity 173.
Tofacitinib Impurity 173 (CAS CATO-C4X-1079173) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C26H28N8O2S and a molecular weight of 516.62 g/mol.
Structurally, Tofacitinib Impurity 173 (C26H28N8O2S) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 17.0, corresponding to approximately 17 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 516.62 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
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.
