Chemical Structure

Adapalene Impurity 15 CAS CATO-C4X-180915 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 Adapalene Impurity 15.

CATO supplies Adapalene Impurity 15 (CAS CATO-C4X-180915), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C46H40O6, MW 688.81 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Adapalene Impurity 15 is typically pale yellow to yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 688.81 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

CATO manufactures Adapalene Impurity 15 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
