Chemical Structure

Fexofenadine EP Impurity F(HCl) CAS CATO-C4X-17948 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 Fexofenadine EP Impurity F(HCl).

CATO supplies Fexofenadine EP Impurity F(HCl) (CAS CATO-C4X-17948), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C31H37NO4HCl, MW 524.10 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C31H37NO4HCl, Fexofenadine EP Impurity F(HCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 524.10 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

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.
