Chemical Structure

Theophylline EP Impurity E CAS 944-73-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 196.16 g/mol gives Theophylline EP Impurity E distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Theophylline EP Impurity E (CAS 944-73-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C7H8N4O3, MW 196.16 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Theophylline EP Impurity E is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 196.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Theophylline EP Impurity E 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.
