Chemical Structure

Metronidazole EP Impurity G CAS 1010-93-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 185.14 g/mol gives Metronidazole EP Impurity G distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Metronidazole EP Impurity G (CAS 1010-93-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C6H7N3O4 and a molecular weight of 185.14 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C6H7N3O4, Metronidazole EP Impurity G contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 185.14 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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 Metronidazole EP Impurity G 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.
