Chemical Structure

Phenoxybenzamine EP Impurity B CAS 101-45-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 285.38 g/mol gives Phenoxybenzamine EP Impurity B distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Phenoxybenzamine EP Impurity B (CAS 101-45-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H23NO2 and a molecular weight of 285.38 g/mol.

Structurally, Phenoxybenzamine EP Impurity B (C18H23NO2) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 285.38 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 Phenoxybenzamine EP Impurity B 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.
