Chemical Structure

Phenylephrine Impurity 74 CAS CATO-C4X-146774 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Phenylephrine Impurity 74 is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Phenylephrine Impurity 74 (CAS CATO-C4X-146774) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C24H25NO4 and a molecular weight of 391.46 g/mol.

Structurally, Phenylephrine Impurity 74 (C24H25NO4) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 13.0, corresponding to approximately 13 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 391.46 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), Phenylephrine Impurity 74 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.
