Chemical Structure

Amiodarone Impurity 34 CAS 159980-56-0 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 Amiodarone Impurity 34.

Amiodarone Impurity 34 (CAS 159980-56-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H19IO3 and a molecular weight of 434.27 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C20H19IO3, Amiodarone Impurity 34 contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 434.27 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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 Amiodarone Impurity 34 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.
