Chemical Structure

Acetylcysteine Impurity 26 CAS CATO-C4X-153226 chemical structure

Description

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.

Acetylcysteine Impurity 26 (CAS CATO-C4X-153226) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C12H20N2O7S3 and a molecular weight of 400.49 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Acetylcysteine Impurity 26 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 400.49 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Acetylcysteine Impurity 26 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.
