Chemical Structure

Metformin EP Impurity E 3/2 Sulfate CAS CATO-C4X-122031 chemical structure

Description

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.

Metformin EP Impurity E 3/2 Sulfate (CAS CATO-C4X-122031) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C3H9N53/H2O4S and a molecular weight of 885.55 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C3H9N53/H2O4S, Metformin EP Impurity E 3/2 Sulfate contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 885.55 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
