Chemical Structure

Lidocaine Hydrochloride EP Impurity I CAS 17289-54-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Lidocaine Hydrochloride EP Impurity I is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Lidocaine Hydrochloride EP Impurity I (CAS 17289-54-2, C14H22N2OHCl) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Lidocaine Hydrochloride EP Impurity I is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 270.80 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
