As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Carbocisteine Impurity 19 (CAS 14226-97-2, C5H7NO3S) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Owing to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Carbocisteine Impurity 19 is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 161.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
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.
CATO manufactures Carbocisteine Impurity 19 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
