The occurrence of Methylene Blue Impurity 12 Chloride is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Methylene Blue Impurity 12 Chloride (CAS 242769-80-7) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C14H13N2OSCl and a molecular weight of 292.78 g/mol.
Structurally, Methylene Blue Impurity 12 Chloride (C14H13N2OSCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 292.78 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
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.
