Melatonin Impurity 21 CAS 176244-65-8

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 462.54 g/mol gives Melatonin Impurity 21 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Melatonin Impurity 21 (CAS 176244-65-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C26H30N4O4, MW 462.54 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C26H30N4O4, Melatonin Impurity 21 contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 462.54 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Melatonin Impurity 21 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.
