Chemical Structure

Naltrexone Hydrochloride CAS 16676-29-2 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Naltrexone Hydrochloride (CAS 16676-29-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H23NO4HCl and a molecular weight of 377.86 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Naltrexone Hydrochloride (C20H23NO4HCl) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Naltrexone Hydrochloride 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.
