Chemical Structure

Chlorpromazine EP Impurity A HCl CAS 316-07-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 371.32 g/mol gives Chlorpromazine EP Impurity A HCl distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Chlorpromazine EP Impurity A HCl (CAS 316-07-4, C17H19ClN2OSHCl) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

The molecular framework of Chlorpromazine EP Impurity A HCl (C17H19ClN2OSHCl) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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).

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), Chlorpromazine EP Impurity A HCl 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.
