The occurrence of Bilastine impurity 89 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Bilastine impurity 89 (CAS CATO-C4X-225389), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C12H15ClO3, MW 242.70 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Bilastine impurity 89 (C12H15ClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 242.70 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.
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.
