Chemical Structure

Fluoxetine EP Impurity A Oxalate CAS 918658-76-1 chemical structure

Description

Fluoxetine EP Impurity A Oxalate (C10H15NOC2H2O4) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

Fluoxetine EP Impurity A Oxalate (CAS 918658-76-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C10H15NOC2H2O4 and a molecular weight of 255.27 g/mol.

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.
