Levocetirizine Impurity 21 HCl CAS CATO-C4X-158221 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 483.43 g/mol gives Levocetirizine Impurity 21 HCl distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Levocetirizine Impurity 21 HCl (CAS CATO-C4X-158221), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C24H31ClN2O4HCl, MW 483.43 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C24H31ClN2O4HCl, Levocetirizine Impurity 21 HCl contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 483.43 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

CATO manufactures Levocetirizine Impurity 21 HCl under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
