Chemical Structure

Epinephrine /Adrenaline Impurity 103 CAS CATO-C4X-1849103 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Epinephrine /Adrenaline Impurity 103 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Epinephrine /Adrenaline Impurity 103 (CAS CATO-C4X-1849103) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H15NO3 and a molecular weight of 269.30 g/mol.

Epinephrine /Adrenaline Impurity 103 (C16H15NO3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
