Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 341.40 g/mol gives Lacosamide EP Impurity I distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Lacosamide EP Impurity I (CAS CATO-C4X-183048), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C19H23N3O3, MW 341.40 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Lacosamide EP Impurity I (C19H23N3O3) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 341.40 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).
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Lacosamide EP Impurity I 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.
