Chemical Structure

Pyridoxine Impurity 38 CAS CATO-C4X-187738 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Pyridoxine Impurity 38 (CAS CATO-C4X-187738), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H20N2O5HCl, MW 356.80 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Pyridoxine Impurity 38 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 356.80 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
