Chemical Structure

Epinastine Impurity 18 CAS CATO-C4X-184018 chemical structure

Description

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.

Epinastine Impurity 18 (CAS CATO-C4X-184018) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C15H13Cl2NO and a molecular weight of 294.18 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Epinastine Impurity 18 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 294.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.
