The occurrence of Carbocisteine Impurity 3 is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, a sulfone group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Carbocisteine Impurity 3 (CAS 88620-38-6) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C5H7NO4S and a molecular weight of 177.18 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C5H7NO4S, Carbocisteine Impurity 3 contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, a sulfone group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 177.18 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
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.
