Trazodone Impurity 93 CAS CATO-C4X-177293 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Trazodone Impurity 93.

CATO supplies Trazodone Impurity 93 (CAS CATO-C4X-177293), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H19Cl2N3HCl, MW 360.71 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C16H19Cl2N3HCl, Trazodone Impurity 93 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 360.71 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Trazodone Impurity 93 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
