The occurrence of Roxadustat Impurity 162 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Roxadustat Impurity 162 (CAS CATO-C4X-2213162), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H13BrO3, MW 321.17 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, Roxadustat Impurity 162 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 321.17 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.
