Chemical Structure

Opicapone Impurity 50 CAS CATO-C4X-240450 chemical structure

Description

Opicapone Impurity 50 (CAS CATO-C4X-240450) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H17Cl3N6O2 and a molecular weight of 431.70 g/mol.

Structurally, Opicapone Impurity 50 (C16H17Cl3N6O2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 431.70 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Opicapone Impurity 50 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.
