Chemical Structure

Paroxetine Impurity 56 CAS 202534-94-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Paroxetine Impurity 56 is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Paroxetine Impurity 56 (CAS 202534-94-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H16FNO4, MW 293.29 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Paroxetine Impurity 56 (C15H16FNO4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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 Paroxetine Impurity 56 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.
