Chemical Structure

Nicotinamide impurity 26 CAS CATO-C4X-200026 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Nicotinamide impurity 26 (CAS CATO-C4X-200026), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C7H12N4O, MW 168.20 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Nicotinamide impurity 26 (C7H12N4O) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 168.20 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), Nicotinamide impurity 26 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.
