Chemical Structure

Ornidazole Impurity 57 CAS CATO-C4X-133157 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ornidazole Impurity 57 is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ornidazole Impurity 57 (CAS CATO-C4X-133157) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C4H4N4O4 and a molecular weight of 172.10 g/mol.

Structurally, Ornidazole Impurity 57 (C4H4N4O4) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 172.10 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
