Chemical Structure

Iodixanol Impurity 18 CAS CATO-C4X-166318 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 689.96 g/mol gives Iodixanol Impurity 18 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Iodixanol Impurity 18 (CAS CATO-C4X-166318, C13H13I3N2O7) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Based on its molecular formula C13H13I3N2O7, Iodixanol Impurity 18 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 689.96 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), Iodixanol Impurity 18 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.
