Chemical Structure

Entacapone Impurity 6 CAS 158693-01-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Entacapone Impurity 6.

Entacapone Impurity 6 (CAS 158693-01-7) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C10H7N3O5 and a molecular weight of 249.18 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C10H7N3O5, Entacapone Impurity 6 contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 249.18 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 Entacapone Impurity 6 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.
