Chemical Structure

Octreotide Impurity 16 CAS CATO-C4X-152016 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Octreotide Impurity 16 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Octreotide Impurity 16 (CAS CATO-C4X-152016), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C43H54N8O9S2C2HF3O2, MW 1005.09 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Octreotide Impurity 16 (C43H54N8O9S2C2HF3O2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
