Chemical Structure

Iopamidol Impurity 20 CAS CATO-C4X-145020 chemical structure

Description

Iopamidol Impurity 20 (CAS CATO-C4X-145020) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H4Cl2I6N2O5 and a molecular weight of 1136.55 g/mol.

Structurally, Iopamidol Impurity 20 (C16H4Cl2I6N2O5) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/iodine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 1136.55 g/mol, it falls into the high-molecular-weight range. 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.
