Chemical Structure

Levocarnitine Impurity N16 CAS 112083-64-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Levocarnitine Impurity N16 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Levocarnitine Impurity N16 (CAS 112083-64-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C6H10O3 and a molecular weight of 130.14 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Levocarnitine Impurity N16 (C6H10O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

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), Levocarnitine Impurity N16 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.
