Chemical Structure

Citicoline Impurity 6 CAS 52448-10-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 337.22 g/mol gives Citicoline Impurity 6 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Citicoline Impurity 6 (CAS 52448-10-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C10H16N3O8P and a molecular weight of 337.22 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Citicoline Impurity 6 (C10H16N3O8P) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, a phosphate ester group. 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.

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.
