Chemical Structure

Opicapone impurity 15 CAS CATO-C4X-240415 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 481.17 g/mol gives Opicapone impurity 15 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Opicapone impurity 15 (CAS CATO-C4X-240415) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H9Cl2F3N4O6 and a molecular weight of 481.17 g/mol.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, Opicapone impurity 15 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 481.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

CATO manufactures Opicapone impurity 15 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.
