Emtricitabine Impurity 60 CAS CATO-C4X-123260 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Emtricitabine Impurity 60.

CATO supplies Emtricitabine Impurity 60 (CAS CATO-C4X-123260), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H9FN2O5S, MW 264.23 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Emtricitabine Impurity 60 (C8H9FN2O5S) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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 Emtricitabine Impurity 60 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.
