Chemical Structure

Entacapone EP Impurity C(Mixtures of tautomers) CAS 116313-85-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Entacapone EP Impurity C(Mixtures of tautomers) is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Entacapone EP Impurity C(Mixtures of tautomers) (CAS 116313-85-0, C7H5NO5) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Entacapone EP Impurity C(Mixtures of tautomers) (C7H5NO5) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 Entacapone EP Impurity C(Mixtures of tautomers) 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.
