Chemical Structure

Methionine EP Impurity D CAS CATO-C4X-18276 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 Methionine EP Impurity D.

Methionine EP Impurity D (CAS CATO-C4X-18276) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C12H22N2O4S2 and a molecular weight of 322.44 g/mol.

Structurally, Methionine EP Impurity D (C12H22N2O4S2) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 322.44 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.
