Chemical Structure

Metronidazole Impurity 9 CAS 87009-72-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 275.26 g/mol gives Metronidazole Impurity 9 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Metronidazole Impurity 9 (CAS 87009-72-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H13N3O4, MW 275.26 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Metronidazole Impurity 9 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 275.26 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).

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), Metronidazole Impurity 9 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.
