Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 487.63 g/mol gives Fexofenadine EP Impurity F distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Fexofenadine EP Impurity F (CAS 185066-33-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C31H37NO4, MW 487.63 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Fexofenadine EP Impurity F (C31H37NO4) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, 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 presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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 Fexofenadine EP Impurity F 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.
