Chemical Structure

Acetylcysteine Impurity 22 CAS CATO-C4X-153222 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 286.73 g/mol gives Acetylcysteine Impurity 22 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Acetylcysteine Impurity 22 (CAS CATO-C4X-153222) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C8H14N2O5SHCl and a molecular weight of 286.73 g/mol.

Owing to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Acetylcysteine Impurity 22 is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 286.73 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), Acetylcysteine Impurity 22 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.
