Chemical Structure

Promethazine EP Impurity A CAS 92-84-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Promethazine EP Impurity A is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Promethazine EP Impurity A (CAS 92-84-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C12H9NS and a molecular weight of 199.27 g/mol.

Structurally, Promethazine EP Impurity A (C12H9NS) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 199.27 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

CATO manufactures Promethazine EP Impurity A under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
