Chemical Structure

Enalapril EP Impurity A(HCl) CAS 76420-74-1 (free base) chemical structure

Description

Enalapril EP Impurity A(HCl) (C20H28N2O5HCl) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

Enalapril EP Impurity A(HCl) (CAS 76420-74-1 (free base)) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H28N2O5HCl and a molecular weight of 412.91 g/mol.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Enalapril EP Impurity A(HCl) 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.
