Chemical Structure

Metoclopramide Impurity 125 CAS 476615-04-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Metoclopramide Impurity 125 (CAS 476615-04-0, C12H17ClN2O2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Metoclopramide Impurity 125 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 256.73 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).

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.
