Chemical Structure

Citalopram Impurity 65 CAS CATO-C4X-110965 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Citalopram Impurity 65.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Citalopram Impurity 65 (CAS CATO-C4X-110965, C20H23FN2O3) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Based on its molecular formula C20H23FN2O3, Citalopram Impurity 65 contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 358.41 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), Citalopram Impurity 65 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.
