Chemical Structure

Iodixanol Impurity 5 CAS CATO-C4X-16635 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C16H20ClI2N3O8, Iodixanol Impurity 5 contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 671.61 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Iodixanol Impurity 5 (CAS CATO-C4X-16635, C16H20ClI2N3O8) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

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 5 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.
