Chemical Structure

Atomoxetine Impurity 52 CAS CATO-C4X-155052 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Atomoxetine Impurity 52 is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Atomoxetine Impurity 52 (CAS CATO-C4X-155052) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H23NOHCl and a molecular weight of 305.85 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Atomoxetine Impurity 52 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 305.85 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), Atomoxetine Impurity 52 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.
