Chemical Structure

Methylene blue /Methylthioninium Chloride Impurity 36 CAS CATO-C4X-189636 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methylene blue /Methylthioninium Chloride Impurity 36 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methylene blue /Methylthioninium Chloride Impurity 36 (CAS CATO-C4X-189636) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H17N3OS and a molecular weight of 299.39 g/mol.

Methylene blue /Methylthioninium Chloride Impurity 36 (C16H17N3OS) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), Methylene blue /Methylthioninium Chloride Impurity 36 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.
