Chemical Structure

Methotrexate impurity 52 CAS CATO-C4X-115452 chemical structure

Description

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.

Methotrexate impurity 52 (CAS CATO-C4X-115452) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H20N10O7 and a molecular weight of 512.44 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Methotrexate impurity 52 (C20H20N10O7) is characterized by a flavonoid core, 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
