Chemical Structure

Paclitaxel Impurity 18 CAS CATO-C4X-184218 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 831.90 g/mol gives Paclitaxel Impurity 18 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Paclitaxel Impurity 18 (CAS CATO-C4X-184218) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C45H53NO14 and a molecular weight of 831.90 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Paclitaxel Impurity 18 is typically pale yellow to yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 831.90 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
