Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 239.27 g/mol gives Carvedilol USP Related Compound D distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Carvedilol USP Related Compound D (CAS 51997-51-4, C15H13NO2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Structurally, Carvedilol USP Related Compound D (C15H13NO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 239.27 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Carvedilol USP Related Compound D meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
