Chemical Structure

Epinephrine Impurity 82 CAS CATO-C4X-184982 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Epinephrine Impurity 82 is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Epinephrine Impurity 82 (CAS CATO-C4X-184982), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C10H15NO3, MW 197.23 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Epinephrine Impurity 82 (C10H15NO3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Epinephrine Impurity 82 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.
