Chemical Structure

Clindamycin Impurity 160 CAS CATO-C4X-1341160 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 504.96 g/mol gives Clindamycin Impurity 160 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Clindamycin Impurity 160 (CAS CATO-C4X-1341160, C18H34ClN2O8PS) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to an amide group, a sulfone group, a phosphate ester group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Clindamycin Impurity 160 is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 504.96 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
