Chemical Structure

Letermovir Impurity 78 CAS CATO-C4X-291578 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Letermovir Impurity 78 is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Letermovir Impurity 78 (CAS CATO-C4X-291578) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H14F4N2O3 and a molecular weight of 382.31 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Letermovir Impurity 78 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 382.31 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.

CATO manufactures Letermovir Impurity 78 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.
