Chemical Structure

Vitamin B6 Impurity Pyridoxine N-Oxide CAS 16567-04-7 chemical structure

Description

Vitamin B6 Impurity Pyridoxine N-Oxide (CAS 16567-04-7) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C8H11NO4 and a molecular weight of 185.18 g/mol.

Structurally, Vitamin B6 Impurity Pyridoxine N-Oxide (C8H11NO4) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 185.18 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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 Vitamin B6 Impurity Pyridoxine N-Oxide 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.
