Acarbose EP Impurity D CAS 68128-53-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Acarbose EP Impurity D (CAS 68128-53-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C19H33NO13, MW 483.46 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Acarbose EP Impurity D is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 483.46 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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 Acarbose EP Impurity D 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.
