Chemical Structure

Oxcarbazepine Impurity 8 CAS 59690-99-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Oxcarbazepine Impurity 8.

Oxcarbazepine Impurity 8 (CAS 59690-99-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C15H12Br2N2O and a molecular weight of 396.08 g/mol.

Structurally, Oxcarbazepine Impurity 8 (C15H12Br2N2O) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 396.08 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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 Oxcarbazepine Impurity 8 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.
