Chemical Structure

Hydrochlorothiazide Impurity 40 CAS CATO-C4X-117740 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Hydrochlorothiazide Impurity 40 is closely related to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Hydrochlorothiazide Impurity 40 (CAS CATO-C4X-117740), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C6H6ClNO3S, MW 207.63 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Hydrochlorothiazide Impurity 40 (C6H6ClNO3S) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 207.63 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
