Chemical Structure

Formoterol Impurity 76 CAS CATO-C4X-152576 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Formoterol Impurity 76 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Formoterol Impurity 76 (CAS CATO-C4X-152576), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C33H34N2O3, MW 506.63 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Formoterol Impurity 76 (C33H34N2O3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Formoterol Impurity 76 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.
