Indocyanine Green Impurity 66 (CAS CATO-C4X-250366) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C87H95N4NaO12S4 and a molecular weight of 1539.95 g/mol.
Structurally, Indocyanine Green Impurity 66 (C87H95N4NaO12S4) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 42.5, corresponding to approximately 42 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 1539.95 g/mol, it falls into the high-molecular-weight range. 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), Indocyanine Green Impurity 66 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.
