Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 429.29 g/mol gives Galantamine Impurity 4 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Galantamine Impurity 4 (CAS 3891-74-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H24NO3I, MW 429.29 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Galantamine Impurity 4 (C18H24NO3I) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine 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. 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.
CATO manufactures Galantamine Impurity 4 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.
