Chemical Structure

Iohexol EP Impurity Q CAS CATO-C4X-166413 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Iohexol EP Impurity Q (CAS CATO-C4X-166413), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H28I3N3O10, MW 863.17 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, Iohexol EP Impurity Q is typically pale yellow to yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 863.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures Iohexol EP Impurity Q under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
