Chemical Structure

Lysine Impurity 20 CAS 1946-82-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Lysine Impurity 20 is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Lysine Impurity 20 (CAS 1946-82-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C8H16N2O3 and a molecular weight of 188.22 g/mol.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Lysine Impurity 20 is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 188.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

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.
