Chemical Structure

Tetrabenazine Impurity 41 CAS 4602-81-7 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Tetrabenazine Impurity 41 (CAS 4602-81-7, C10H11NO2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Tetrabenazine Impurity 41 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 177.20 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 Tetrabenazine Impurity 41 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.
