Chemical Structure

Atracurium EP Impurity B CAS 64228-77-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Atracurium EP Impurity B is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Atracurium EP Impurity B (CAS 64228-77-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C51H66N2O12, MW 899.08 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C51H66N2O12, Atracurium EP Impurity B contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 899.08 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Atracurium EP Impurity B meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
