Chemical Structure

Carbocisteine Impurity 2 CAS 2820941-84-0 chemical structure

Description

Carbocisteine Impurity 2 (C7H9NO5S) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Carbocisteine Impurity 2 (CAS 2820941-84-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C7H9NO5S and a molecular weight of 219.22 g/mol.

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.
