Chemical Structure

Roflumilast Impurity 55 CAS CATO-C4X-108455 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies Roflumilast Impurity 55 (CAS CATO-C4X-108455), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H14F2O4, MW 272.24 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Roflumilast Impurity 55 (C13H14F2O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
