Chemical Structure

Afoxolaner impurity 7 CAS CATO-C4X-31377 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies Afoxolaner impurity 7 (CAS CATO-C4X-31377), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C22H12ClF6NO3, MW 487.78 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Afoxolaner impurity 7 (C22H12ClF6NO3) contains a steroid core, an amide group, 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. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
