Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 356.44 g/mol gives Methylnaltrexone Bromide Impurity 15 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Methylnaltrexone Bromide Impurity 15 (CAS CATO-C4X-152115) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H26NO4 and a molecular weight of 356.44 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Methylnaltrexone Bromide Impurity 15 (C21H26NO4) 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).
Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.
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.
