Chemical Structure

Allopurinol impurity 20 CAS CATO-C4X-145820 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Allopurinol impurity 20 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.

Allopurinol impurity 20 (CAS CATO-C4X-145820) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C9H12N2O3 and a molecular weight of 196.20 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C9H12N2O3, Allopurinol impurity 20 contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 196.20 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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 Allopurinol impurity 20 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.
