Chemical Structure

Oxycodone EP  Impurity C HCl CAS 57664-96-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Oxycodone EP Impurity C HCl (CAS 57664-96-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C17H19NO4HCl, MW 337.80 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Oxycodone EP Impurity C HCl is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 337.80 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.

CATO manufactures Oxycodone EP Impurity C 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.
