Chemical Structure

Afoxolaner  Impurity 18 CAS CATO-C4X-313718 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Afoxolaner Impurity 18 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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Afoxolaner Impurity 18 (CAS CATO-C4X-313718, C23H13ClF6O3) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Afoxolaner Impurity 18 (C23H13ClF6O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
