Chemical Structure

Zidovudine EP Impurity C CAS 65-71-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Zidovudine EP Impurity C 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.

CATO supplies Zidovudine EP Impurity C (CAS 65-71-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C5H6N2O2, MW 126.11 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Zidovudine EP Impurity C (C5H6N2O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 126.11 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
