Chemical Structure

Methotrexate Impurity 65 CAS CATO-C4X-115465 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Methotrexate Impurity 65 (CAS CATO-C4X-115465), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C28H27N9O6Na, MW 608.57 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C28H27N9O6Na, Methotrexate Impurity 65 contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 608.57 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), Methotrexate 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.
