Chemical Structure

Cimetidine EP Impurity I CAS 29636-87-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 112.13 g/mol gives Cimetidine EP Impurity I distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Cimetidine EP Impurity I (CAS 29636-87-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C5H8N2O and a molecular weight of 112.13 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Cimetidine EP Impurity I (C5H8N2O) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cimetidine EP Impurity I meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
