Chemical Structure

Ketoconazole Impurity 36 CAS CATO-C4X-147236 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Ketoconazole Impurity 36 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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Ketoconazole Impurity 36 (CAS CATO-C4X-147236, C18H15BrCl2O4) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

The molecular framework of Ketoconazole Impurity 36 (C18H15BrCl2O4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution. 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 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.
