Chemical Structure

Atomoxetine EP Impurity A HCl CAS 873310-33-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Atomoxetine EP Impurity A HCl.

CATO supplies Atomoxetine EP Impurity A HCl (CAS 873310-33-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H19NOHCl, MW 277.79 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Atomoxetine EP Impurity A HCl (C16H19NOHCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
