Chemical Structure

N-Nitroso Metronidazole Impurity 32 CAS CATO-C4X-140532 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including N-Nitroso Metronidazole Impurity 32.

N-Nitroso Metronidazole Impurity 32 (CAS CATO-C4X-140532) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C3H2N4O3 and a molecular weight of 142.07 g/mol.

The molecular framework of N-Nitroso Metronidazole Impurity 32 (C3H2N4O3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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.

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.
