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.
Lamivudine Impurity 45 (CAS CATO-C4X-119445) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H27N3O4S and a molecular weight of 381.49 g/mol.
Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Lamivudine Impurity 45 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 381.49 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
CATO manufactures Lamivudine Impurity 45 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.
