Chemical Structure

Midazolam Impurity 40 CAS CATO-C4X-150940 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies Midazolam Impurity 40 (CAS CATO-C4X-150940), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H17ClFN3, MW 329.80 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C18H17ClFN3, Midazolam Impurity 40 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 329.80 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Midazolam Impurity 40 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.
