Acetyl-4-iodo-DL-phenylalanine CAS 457615-88-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Acetyl-4-iodo-DL-phenylalanine.

CATO supplies Acetyl-4-iodo-DL-phenylalanine (CAS 457615-88-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C11H12INO3, MW 333.12 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C11H12INO3, Acetyl-4-iodo-DL-phenylalanine contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 333.12 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.

CATO manufactures Acetyl-4-iodo-DL-phenylalanine 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.
