The occurrence of Voriconazole Impurity 90 is closely related to a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Voriconazole Impurity 90 (CAS CATO-C4X-136690, C5H3ClF2N2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Structurally, Voriconazole Impurity 90 (C5H3ClF2N2) contains a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 164.54 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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.
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), Voriconazole Impurity 90 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.
