Chemical Structure

Lamotrigine CAS 84057-84-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Lamotrigine is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Lamotrigine (CAS 84057-84-1), molecular formula C9H7Cl2N5 and molecular weight 256.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, Lamotrigine is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 256.09 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Lamotrigine 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.
