Chemical Structure

Methylergometrine Impurity 13 CAS 569-26-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methylergometrine Impurity 13 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Methylergometrine Impurity 13 (CAS 569-26-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H20N2, MW 240.34 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, Methylergometrine Impurity 13 is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 240.34 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).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

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.
