Proparacaine Impurity 8 HCl CAS 35288-46-1 chemical structure

Description

Proparacaine Impurity 8 HCl (CAS 35288-46-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H24N2O5HCl and a molecular weight of 360.83 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C16H24N2O5HCl, Proparacaine Impurity 8 HCl contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 360.83 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
