Chemical Structure

Levocarnitine Impurity 30 (D-Camphoric Acid) CAS 124-83-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 200.23 g/mol gives Levocarnitine Impurity 30 (D-Camphoric Acid) distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Levocarnitine Impurity 30 (D-Camphoric Acid) (CAS 124-83-4, C10H16O4) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Structurally, Levocarnitine Impurity 30 (D-Camphoric Acid) (C10H16O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 200.23 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 Levocarnitine Impurity 30 (D-Camphoric Acid) 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.
