Chemical Structure

Clindamycin Impurity 68 CAS CATO-C4X-134168 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Clindamycin Impurity 68 (CAS CATO-C4X-134168, C18H34ClN2O11PS) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Structurally, Clindamycin Impurity 68 (C18H34ClN2O11PS) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a phosphate ester group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.5, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 552.96 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

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.
