Chemical Structure

Pentazocine Impurity N1 CAS 90278-52-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Pentazocine Impurity N1 (CAS 90278-52-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C10H10O4, MW 194.18 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Pentazocine Impurity N1 (C10H10O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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.
