Chemical Structure

Enalapril EP Impurity A CAS 76420-74-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Enalapril EP Impurity A is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Enalapril EP Impurity A (CAS 76420-74-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H28N2O5, MW 376.45 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Enalapril EP Impurity A (C20H28N2O5) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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. 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).

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 Enalapril EP Impurity A 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.
