Chemical Structure

Milnacipran Impurity 16 CAS 871100-19-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Milnacipran Impurity 16 is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Milnacipran Impurity 16 (CAS 871100-19-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C11H13NO2, MW 191.23 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Milnacipran Impurity 16 (C11H13NO2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

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.
