Chemical Structure

Levocetirizine Impurity 44 CAS 442863-80-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 404.89 g/mol gives Levocetirizine Impurity 44 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Levocetirizine Impurity 44 (CAS 442863-80-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H25ClN2O4, MW 404.89 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Levocetirizine Impurity 44 (C21H25ClN2O4) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

CATO manufactures Levocetirizine Impurity 44 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.
