Chemical Structure

Nabumetone EP Impurity B CAS 343272-51-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Nabumetone EP Impurity B is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Nabumetone EP Impurity B (CAS 343272-51-5) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H18O2 and a molecular weight of 266.33 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Nabumetone EP Impurity B (C18H18O2) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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.

CATO manufactures Nabumetone EP Impurity B under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
