As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Dimenhydrinate Impurity(8-chloro-1-methyl-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione) (CAS 6136-36-3, C6H3ClN4O2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Based on its molecular formula C6H3ClN4O2, Dimenhydrinate Impurity(8-chloro-1-methyl-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 198.57 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
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.
