Pyridoxine EP Impurity A CAS 5196-20-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Pyridoxine EP Impurity A 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.

CATO supplies Pyridoxine EP Impurity A (CAS 5196-20-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H9NO2, MW 151.16 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Pyridoxine EP Impurity A (C8H9NO2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
