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.
N-Nitroso Felodipine EP Impurity B (CAS CATO-C4X-109420) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C17H16Cl2N2O5 and a molecular weight of 399.23 g/mol.
Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, N-Nitroso Felodipine EP Impurity B is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 399.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
