CATO supplies Loxoprofen impurity 87 (CAS CATO-C4X-148887), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H24O5, MW 320.38 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Loxoprofen impurity 87 (C18H24O5) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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).
Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.
