Chemical Structure

Metformin Impurity 25 HCl CAS 926-72-7 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies Metformin Impurity 25 HCl (CAS 926-72-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C2H6N4OHCl, MW 138.56 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Metformin Impurity 25 HCl (C2H6N4OHCl) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, 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.

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.
