Chemical Structure

Amikacin EP Impurity I CAS 40371-51-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Amikacin EP Impurity I is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Amikacin EP Impurity I (CAS 40371-51-5) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C4H9NO3 and a molecular weight of 119.12 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C4H9NO3, Amikacin EP Impurity I contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 119.12 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
