Chemical Structure

Levothyroxine Impurity 52 CAS CATO-C4X-167852 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Levothyroxine Impurity 52 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Levothyroxine Impurity 52 (CAS CATO-C4X-167852) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C15H17NO2 and a molecular weight of 243.30 g/mol.

Levothyroxine Impurity 52 (C15H17NO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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), Levothyroxine Impurity 52 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.
