Chemical Structure

Brexpiprazole impurity 72 CAS CATO-C4X-113172 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Brexpiprazole impurity 72 is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Brexpiprazole impurity 72 (CAS CATO-C4X-113172, C17H21BrClNO2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Brexpiprazole impurity 72 (C17H21BrClNO2) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures Brexpiprazole impurity 72 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
