Chemical Structure

Methylnaltrexone Bromide Impurity 5 CAS CATO-C4X-15215 chemical structure

Description

Methylnaltrexone Bromide Impurity 5 (CAS CATO-C4X-15215) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H25NO4Br and a molecular weight of 435.34 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Methylnaltrexone Bromide Impurity 5 (C21H25NO4Br) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methylnaltrexone Bromide Impurity 5 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.
