Chemical Structure

rac-Atomoxetine EP Impurity C CAS 56161-78-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 255.35 g/mol gives rac-Atomoxetine EP Impurity C distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies rac-Atomoxetine EP Impurity C (CAS 56161-78-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C17H21NO, MW 255.35 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C17H21NO, rac-Atomoxetine EP Impurity C contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 255.35 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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 manufactures rac-Atomoxetine EP Impurity C 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.
