Chemical Structure

Azathioprine EP Impurity B CAS 157930-13-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Azathioprine EP Impurity B is closely related to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Azathioprine EP Impurity B (CAS 157930-13-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C5H4N4S, MW 152.18 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Azathioprine EP Impurity B (C5H4N4S) contains a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality. Its physicochemical properties are representative of its class; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), Azathioprine EP Impurity B 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.
