Chemical Structure
Description
Based on its molecular formula C5H8NO5SNa, Acetylcysteine Impurity 56 contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, a sulfone group; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 217.17 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
CATO supplies Acetylcysteine Impurity 56 (CAS CATO-C4X-153256), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C5H8NO5SNa, MW 217.17 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
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 56 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.
