Oxolinic Acid Impurity 1 (CAS 50332-56-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C14H13NO5 and a molecular weight of 275.26 g/mol.
Structurally, Oxolinic Acid Impurity 1 (C14H13NO5) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 275.26 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
