Chemical Structure

Minoxidil Impurity 67 CAS CATO-C4X-170067 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Minoxidil Impurity 67 is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Minoxidil Impurity 67 (CAS CATO-C4X-170067) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C6H10N4O2 and a molecular weight of 170.17 g/mol.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Minoxidil Impurity 67 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 170.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
