Chemical Structure

Lamotrigine Impurity 22 CAS CATO-C4X-167222 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 364.01 g/mol gives Lamotrigine Impurity 22 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Lamotrigine Impurity 22 (CAS CATO-C4X-167222), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C14H6Cl4O3, MW 364.01 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C14H6Cl4O3, Lamotrigine Impurity 22 contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 364.01 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.
