Chemical Structure

Methoxamine Impurity 18 CAS CATO-C4X-202218 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Methoxamine Impurity 18 (CAS CATO-C4X-202218), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C10H15NO3, MW 197.23 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C10H15NO3, Methoxamine Impurity 18 contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 197.23 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

CATO manufactures Methoxamine Impurity 18 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
