Chemical Structure

Mupirocin Impurity 18 CAS 1246812-11-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Mupirocin Impurity 18 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Mupirocin Impurity 18 (CAS 1246812-11-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C26H46O9, MW 502.64 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C26H46O9, Mupirocin Impurity 18 contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 502.64 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Mupirocin Impurity 18 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.
