Chemical Structure

Thioctic acid Impurity 12 CAS CATO-C4X-152612 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Thioctic acid Impurity 12 is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Thioctic acid Impurity 12 (CAS CATO-C4X-152612, C8H14O3S2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Thioctic acid Impurity 12 (C8H14O3S2) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid 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.

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.
