Chemical Structure

Gentamicin Impurity 12 CAS 25876-11-3 chemical structure

Description

Gentamicin Impurity 12 (CAS 25876-11-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H41N5O7 and a molecular weight of 463.57 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C20H41N5O7, Gentamicin Impurity 12 contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 463.57 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
