CATO supplies S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine Impurity 8 (CAS CATO-C4X-13818), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C12H18N5O3SI, MW 439.27 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine Impurity 8 (C12H18N5O3SI) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 439.27 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine Impurity 8 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.
