As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Lysine Impurity N1 (CAS 29426-64-0, C6H12N2O.HCl) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Lysine Impurity N1 is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 164.63 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.
