Piroxicam EP Impurity B CAS 65897-46-3 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.

Piroxicam EP Impurity B (CAS 65897-46-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C14H11N3O4S and a molecular weight of 317.32 g/mol.

Structurally, Piroxicam EP Impurity B (C14H11N3O4S) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 11.0, corresponding to approximately 11 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 317.32 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Piroxicam 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.
