Chemical Structure

Hydroxychloroquine EP Impurity C CAS 4298-15-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 307.82 g/mol gives Hydroxychloroquine EP Impurity C distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Hydroxychloroquine EP Impurity C (CAS 4298-15-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H22ClN3O, MW 307.82 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Hydroxychloroquine EP Impurity C is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 307.82 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
