Chemical Structure

Acetaminophen impurity 29 CAS 120595-80-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Acetaminophen impurity 29.

CATO supplies Acetaminophen impurity 29 (CAS 120595-80-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C14H16NO8Na, MW 349.27 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Acetaminophen impurity 29 (C14H16NO8Na) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

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.
