Chemical Structure

Diphenhydramine impurity 9 CAS CATO-C4X-14249 chemical structure

Description

Diphenhydramine impurity 9 (C17H20N2O2) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Diphenhydramine impurity 9 (CAS CATO-C4X-14249) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C17H20N2O2 and a molecular weight of 284.35 g/mol.

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.

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.
