Naphazoline Impurity 8 CAS CATO-C4X-14408 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Naphazoline Impurity 8 (CAS CATO-C4X-14408), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H13NOHCl, MW 235.71 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Naphazoline Impurity 8 (C13H13NOHCl) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
