Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (R)-Cetirizine EP Impurity G DiHCl.
CATO supplies (R)-Cetirizine EP Impurity G DiHCl (CAS 728948-88-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C19H23ClN2OHCl, MW 367.31 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, (R)-Cetirizine EP Impurity G DiHCl (C19H23ClN2OHCl) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 367.31 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.
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), (R)-Cetirizine EP Impurity G DiHCl 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.
