Chemical Structure

Nicotinic Acid EP Impurity B CAS 1802-30-8 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 Nicotinic Acid EP Impurity B.

Nicotinic Acid EP Impurity B (CAS 1802-30-8) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C12H8N2O4 and a molecular weight of 244.20 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Nicotinic Acid EP Impurity B (C12H8N2O4) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Nicotinic Acid EP Impurity B 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.
