Chemical Structure

Levothyroxine Impurity 15 CAS CATO-C4X-167815 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Levothyroxine Impurity 15 is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Levothyroxine Impurity 15 (CAS CATO-C4X-167815) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C15H10I3NO5 and a molecular weight of 664.96 g/mol.

Structurally, Levothyroxine Impurity 15 (C15H10I3NO5) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 664.96 g/mol, it falls into the high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), Levothyroxine Impurity 15 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.
