Chemical Structure

Pirfenidone Impurity 9 CAS CATO-C4X-22299 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.

Pirfenidone Impurity 9 (CAS CATO-C4X-22299) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H16N2O2 and a molecular weight of 292.33 g/mol.

Structurally, Pirfenidone Impurity 9 (C18H16N2O2) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 292.33 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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 certified reference material (CRM), Pirfenidone Impurity 9 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.
