Chemical Structure

Hydroxychloroquine Impurity 44 CAS CATO-C4X-183544 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 Hydroxychloroquine Impurity 44.

CATO supplies Hydroxychloroquine Impurity 44 (CAS CATO-C4X-183544), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H30ClN3O4S, MW 443.99 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C20H30ClN3O4S, Hydroxychloroquine Impurity 44 contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 443.99 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Hydroxychloroquine Impurity 44 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.
