Chemical Structure

Promethazine EP Impurity B HCl CAS 5568-90-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Promethazine EP Impurity B HCl 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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Promethazine EP Impurity B HCl (CAS 5568-90-1, C17H20N2SHCl) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution, Promethazine EP Impurity B HCl is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 320.88 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
