Chemical Structure

Rivastigmine Impurity 16 CAS CATO-C4X-138416 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 436.42 g/mol gives Rivastigmine Impurity 16 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Rivastigmine Impurity 16 (CAS CATO-C4X-138416, C16H18N2O3C4H6O6) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Rivastigmine Impurity 16 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 436.42 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures Rivastigmine Impurity 16 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
