Chemical Structure

Dequalinium EP Impurity A CAS 6628-04-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Dequalinium EP Impurity A is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Dequalinium EP Impurity A (CAS 6628-04-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10N2 and a molecular weight of 158.20 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Dequalinium EP Impurity A (C10H10N2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. 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).

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 manufactures Dequalinium EP Impurity A 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.
