Levothyroxine Impurity 54 CAS CATO-C4X-167854 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Levothyroxine Impurity 54.

Levothyroxine Impurity 54 (CAS CATO-C4X-167854) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H16I4N2O5S and a molecular weight of 880.01 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C18H16I4N2O5S, Levothyroxine Impurity 54 contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 880.01 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
