Chemical Structure

Mepivacaine EP Impurity D CAS CATO-C4X-19286 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Mepivacaine EP Impurity D 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.

CATO supplies Mepivacaine EP Impurity D (CAS CATO-C4X-19286), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H20N2O, MW 244.33 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Mepivacaine EP Impurity D is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 244.33 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).

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.
