Hydralazine Impurity 4 CAS CATO-C4X-16594 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Hydralazine Impurity 4 (CAS CATO-C4X-16594), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C24H16N8, MW 416.44 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C24H16N8, Hydralazine Impurity 4 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 416.44 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
