Atomoxetine Hydrochloride EP Impurity A CAS 56161-70-7 chemical structure

Description

Atomoxetine Hydrochloride EP Impurity A (CAS 56161-70-7) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H19NO and a molecular weight of 241.33 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C16H19NO, Atomoxetine Hydrochloride EP Impurity A contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 241.33 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
