Chemical Structure

Allopurinol Impurity 32 CAS 52632-17-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Allopurinol Impurity 32 (CAS 52632-17-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C12H14N4O4, MW 278.26 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Allopurinol Impurity 32 (C12H14N4O4) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 278.26 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Allopurinol Impurity 32 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.
