Clonidine Impurity 7 CAS CATO-C4X-15947 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 Clonidine Impurity 7 (CAS CATO-C4X-15947), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C9H8Cl2N4O, MW 259.09 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Clonidine Impurity 7 (C9H8Cl2N4O) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Clonidine Impurity 7 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.
