Chemical Structure

Hydroxychloroquine EP Impurity C Oxalate CAS 14142-64-4 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Hydroxychloroquine EP Impurity C Oxalate (CAS 14142-64-4, C16H22ClN3OC2H2O4) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

The molecular framework of Hydroxychloroquine EP Impurity C Oxalate (C16H22ClN3OC2H2O4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

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.
