Chemical Structure

Mexiletine Impurity 15 CAS CATO-C4X-192915 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a flavonoid core, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Mexiletine Impurity 15 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 334.43 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).

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Mexiletine Impurity 15 (CAS CATO-C4X-192915, C18H22O4S) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

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.
