Acarbose EP Impurity A CAS 1013621-79-8 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Acarbose EP Impurity A (CAS 1013621-79-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C25H43NO18, MW 645.60 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Acarbose EP Impurity A (C25H43NO18) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
