Chemical Structure

Naloxone EP Impurity A HCl(Naltrexone EP Impurity B HCl) CAS 33522-95-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 323.77 g/mol gives Naloxone EP Impurity A HCl(Naltrexone EP Impurity B HCl) distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Naloxone EP Impurity A HCl(Naltrexone EP Impurity B HCl) (CAS 33522-95-1, C16H17NO4HCl) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

The molecular framework of Naloxone EP Impurity A HCl(Naltrexone EP Impurity B HCl) (C16H17NO4HCl) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
