Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Amiodarone Impurity HCl.
Amiodarone Impurity HCl (CAS CATO-C4X-142546) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H23I2NO2HCl and a molecular weight of 599.67 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C20H23I2NO2HCl, Amiodarone Impurity HCl contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 599.67 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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), Amiodarone Impurity HCl 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.
