Chemical Structure

Irinotecan Impurity 59 CAS CATO-C4X-166759 chemical structure

Description

Irinotecan Impurity 59 (CAS CATO-C4X-166759) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H38N4O and a molecular weight of 362.55 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Irinotecan Impurity 59 (C21H38N4O) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

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.
