Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 362.38 g/mol gives Edaravone impurity 53 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Edaravone impurity 53 (CAS 92558-29-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H18N4O3, MW 362.38 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Edaravone impurity 53 (C20H18N4O3) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 14.0, corresponding to approximately 14 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 362.38 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
