Chemical Structure

Riboflavin Impurity 25 CAS CATO-C4X-181925 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Riboflavin Impurity 25 (CAS CATO-C4X-181925), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C17H18N4O5, MW 358.35 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Riboflavin Impurity 25 (C17H18N4O5) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 11.0, corresponding to approximately 11 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 358.35 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
