Chemical Structure

Mesna impurity 8 CAS 74304-26-0 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

CATO supplies Mesna impurity 8 (CAS 74304-26-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C4H9ClO3S, MW 172.63 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Mesna impurity 8 (C4H9ClO3S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 0.0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 172.63 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
