Chemical Structure

Carbocisteine Impurity 9 CAS 87862-95-1 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 Carbocisteine Impurity 9.

CATO supplies Carbocisteine Impurity 9 (CAS 87862-95-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C5H7NO4S, MW 177.18 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, a sulfone group, Carbocisteine Impurity 9 is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 177.18 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 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.
