Chemical Structure

Duloxetine EP Impurity A CAS 910138-96-4 chemical structure

Description

Duloxetine EP Impurity A (CAS 910138-96-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H19NOSHCl and a molecular weight of 333.87 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Duloxetine EP Impurity A (C18H19NOSHCl) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Duloxetine EP Impurity A meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
