Chemical Structure

Argatroban Impurity 88 CAS CATO-C4X-100788 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Argatroban Impurity 88 is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Argatroban Impurity 88 (CAS CATO-C4X-100788), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H17N5O4, MW 247.25 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Argatroban Impurity 88 (C8H17N5O4) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

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.
