Chemical Structure

Lamivudine EP Impurity B ((2S,5S)-Isomer) CAS 136846-20-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

Lamivudine EP Impurity B ((2S,5S)-Isomer) (CAS 136846-20-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C8H11N3O3S and a molecular weight of 229.26 g/mol.

Structurally, Lamivudine EP Impurity B ((2S,5S)-Isomer) (C8H11N3O3S) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 229.26 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
