Sertraline Impurity 68 CAS CATO-C4X-134468 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Sertraline Impurity 68 (CAS CATO-C4X-134468), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H18ClNO, MW 299.79 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C18H18ClNO, Sertraline Impurity 68 contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 299.79 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Sertraline Impurity 68 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
