Chemical Structure

Rizatriptan Impurity 21 CAS CATO-C4X-175221 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 319.84 g/mol gives Rizatriptan Impurity 21 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Rizatriptan Impurity 21 (CAS CATO-C4X-175221), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H22N5Cl, MW 319.84 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Rizatriptan Impurity 21 (C16H22N5Cl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

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.
