Chemical Structure

Warfarin Impurity 16 CAS CATO-C4X-142916 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 336.38 g/mol gives Warfarin Impurity 16 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Warfarin Impurity 16 (CAS CATO-C4X-142916, C21H20O4) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

The molecular framework of Warfarin Impurity 16 (C21H20O4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
