Chemical Structure

Clofazimine Impurity 28 CAS CATO-C4X-207128 chemical structure

Description

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.

Clofazimine Impurity 28 (CAS CATO-C4X-207128) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C24H16Cl2N4 and a molecular weight of 431.32 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C24H16Cl2N4, Clofazimine Impurity 28 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 431.32 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
