Chemical Structure

Epalrestat Impurity 52 CAS CATO-C4X-223652 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Epalrestat Impurity 52 (CAS CATO-C4X-223652), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C5H6ClNO4S2, MW 243.69 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, a sulfone group, chlorine substitution, Epalrestat Impurity 52 is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 243.69 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.

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.
