Chemical Structure

Metoprolol Impurity 10 CAS 131564-70-0 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Metoprolol Impurity 10 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.

Metoprolol Impurity 10 (CAS 131564-70-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C14H23NO3 and a molecular weight of 253.34 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C14H23NO3, Metoprolol Impurity 10 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 253.34 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
