Chemical Structure

Epinastine EP Impurity A(Hydrochloride) CAS 141342-70-3 chemical structure

Description

Epinastine EP Impurity A(Hydrochloride) (CAS 141342-70-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H13N3HCl and a molecular weight of 283.76 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Epinastine EP Impurity A(Hydrochloride) (C16H13N3HCl) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), Epinastine EP Impurity A(Hydrochloride) 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.
