Chemical Structure

Carbidopa Impurity 12 CAS 53832-94-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Carbidopa Impurity 12 (CAS 53832-94-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C10H12O4, MW 196.20 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Carbidopa Impurity 12 (C10H12O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 196.20 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).

CATO manufactures Carbidopa Impurity 12 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.
