Chemical Structure

Ambroxol impurity 108 CAS 73220-00-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Ambroxol impurity 108.

CATO supplies Ambroxol impurity 108 (CAS 73220-00-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H22Br2N2O3, MW 450.17 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Ambroxol impurity 108 (C16H22Br2N2O3) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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), Ambroxol impurity 108 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.
