Chemical Structure

Tetrabenazine Impurity 40 CAS 135675-32-0 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 Tetrabenazine Impurity 40.

CATO supplies Tetrabenazine Impurity 40 (CAS 135675-32-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H15NO3, MW 257.28 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Tetrabenazine Impurity 40 (C15H15NO3) 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 its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

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.
