Chemical Structure

Melatonin Impurity 30 CAS 188396-95-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 274.32 g/mol gives Melatonin Impurity 30 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Melatonin Impurity 30 (CAS 188396-95-4, C15H18N2O3) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Based on its molecular formula C15H18N2O3, Melatonin Impurity 30 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 274.32 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

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.

CATO manufactures Melatonin Impurity 30 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.
