Ketorolac impurity 67 CAS CATO-C4X-166967 chemical structure

Description

Ketorolac impurity 67 (CAS CATO-C4X-166967) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C17H18ClNO3 and a molecular weight of 319.78 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Ketorolac impurity 67 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 319.78 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), Ketorolac impurity 67 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.
