Chemical Structure

Alprazolam EP Impurity D CAS CATO-C4X-146010 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Alprazolam EP Impurity D.

Alprazolam EP Impurity D (CAS CATO-C4X-146010) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H13ClN4 and a molecular weight of 320.78 g/mol.

Structurally, Alprazolam EP Impurity D (C18H13ClN4) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 14.0, corresponding to approximately 14 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 320.78 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

CATO manufactures Alprazolam EP Impurity D under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
