Chemical Structure

rac-Clemastine Fumarate EP Impurity B HCl CAS 61771-18-4 (free base) 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.

CATO supplies rac-Clemastine Fumarate EP Impurity B HCl (CAS 61771-18-4 (free base)), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H26ClNOHCl, MW 380.35 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of rac-Clemastine Fumarate EP Impurity B HCl (C21H26ClNOHCl) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
