Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Flupentixol Impurity 18.
Flupentixol Impurity 18 (CAS CATO-C4X-189518) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C19H18F3NO2S and a molecular weight of 381.41 g/mol.
Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Flupentixol Impurity 18 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 381.41 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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), Flupentixol Impurity 18 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.
