Chemical Structure

Arbidol Impurity 20 CAS CATO-C4X-112920 chemical structure

Description

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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Arbidol Impurity 20 (CAS CATO-C4X-112920, C18H22Br2N2O4) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Arbidol Impurity 20 (C18H22Br2N2O4) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
