Chemical Structure

Trifarotene impurity 20 CAS CATO-C4X-313220 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 339.13 g/mol gives Trifarotene impurity 20 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Trifarotene impurity 20 (CAS CATO-C4X-313220, C13H10INO2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, Trifarotene impurity 20 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 339.13 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 Trifarotene impurity 20 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.
