Minocycline EP Impurity I CAS 5874-95-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

Minocycline EP Impurity I (CAS 5874-95-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H23N3O7 and a molecular weight of 429.42 g/mol.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Minocycline EP Impurity I is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 429.42 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

CATO manufactures Minocycline EP Impurity I 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.
