Chemical Structure

Nifedipine EP Impurity C (Z-Isomer) CAS 111304-31-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 249.22 g/mol gives Nifedipine EP Impurity C (Z-Isomer) distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Nifedipine EP Impurity C (Z-Isomer) (CAS 111304-31-5, C12H11NO5) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Based on its molecular formula C12H11NO5, Nifedipine EP Impurity C (Z-Isomer) 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 249.22 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Nifedipine EP Impurity C (Z-Isomer) 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.
