Chemical Structure

Allopurinol EP Impurity E CAS 31055-19-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 183.16 g/mol gives Allopurinol EP Impurity E distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Allopurinol EP Impurity E (CAS 31055-19-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C7H9N3O3, MW 183.16 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Allopurinol EP Impurity E (C7H9N3O3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Allopurinol EP Impurity E 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.
