Chemical Structure

Lifitegrast Impurity 160 CAS CATO-C4X-2409160 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, Lifitegrast Impurity 160 (C23H26Br2N2O5) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 11.0, corresponding to approximately 11 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 570.27 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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Lifitegrast Impurity 160 (CAS CATO-C4X-2409160, C23H26Br2N2O5) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

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), Lifitegrast Impurity 160 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.
