Chemical Structure

Limaprost Impurity 16 CAS CATO-C4X-214516 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Limaprost Impurity 16 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Limaprost Impurity 16 (CAS CATO-C4X-214516) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C30H50O7 and a molecular weight of 522.73 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Limaprost Impurity 16 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 522.73 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).

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.

CATO manufactures Limaprost Impurity 16 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
