Chemical Structure

Metronidazole Impurity 35 CAS CATO-C4X-140535 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Metronidazole Impurity 35 is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Metronidazole Impurity 35 (CAS CATO-C4X-140535), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C3H2N4O3, MW 142.07 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Metronidazole Impurity 35 (C3H2N4O3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures Metronidazole Impurity 35 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.
