Chemical Structure

Levocetirizine Hydrochloride - API Standards CAS 823178-28-5 chemical structure

Description

Levocetirizine Hydrochloride - API Standards (CAS 823178-28-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C21H25ClN2O3HCl and a molecular weight of 425.35 g/mol.

Levocetirizine Hydrochloride - API Standards (C21H25ClN2O3HCl) contains a steroid 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. 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 is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

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.
