Chemical Structure

Nicorandil EP Impurity B CAS 6265-73-2 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

CATO supplies Nicorandil EP Impurity B (CAS 6265-73-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H10N2O2, MW 166.18 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C8H10N2O2, Nicorandil EP Impurity B contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 166.18 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).

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.
