Chemical Structure

Naltrexone Impurity 28 CAS CATO-C4X-147528 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Naltrexone Impurity 28 is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Naltrexone Impurity 28 (CAS CATO-C4X-147528), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H26NO4Br, MW 436.35 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Naltrexone Impurity 28 (C21H26NO4Br) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Naltrexone Impurity 28 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.
