Chemical Structure

Phenobarbital EP Impurity C CAS 76-94-8 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 Phenobarbital EP Impurity C.

Phenobarbital EP Impurity C (CAS 76-94-8) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C11H10N2O3 and a molecular weight of 218.21 g/mol.

Structurally, Phenobarbital EP Impurity C (C11H10N2O3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 218.21 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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 Phenobarbital EP Impurity C 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.
