Chemical Structure

Phenylephrine Impurity 64 CAS CATO-C4X-146764 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Phenylephrine Impurity 64.

CATO supplies Phenylephrine Impurity 64 (CAS CATO-C4X-146764), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C17H21NO4, MW 303.35 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Phenylephrine Impurity 64 (C17H21NO4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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 Phenylephrine Impurity 64 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.
