Chemical Structure

Temozolomide Impurity 21 CAS CATO-C4X-135321 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Temozolomide Impurity 21 is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Temozolomide Impurity 21 (CAS CATO-C4X-135321) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C4H6N2O4 and a molecular weight of 146.10 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C4H6N2O4, Temozolomide Impurity 21 contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 146.10 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Temozolomide Impurity 21 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
