Chemical Structure

Hydroxychloroquine EP Impurity B CAS 103152-84-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Hydroxychloroquine EP Impurity B (CAS 103152-84-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H26ClN3O4S, MW 415.93 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C18H26ClN3O4S, Hydroxychloroquine EP Impurity B contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 415.93 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.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Hydroxychloroquine EP Impurity B meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
