Proparacaine Impurity 13 CAS CATO-C4X-202713 chemical structure

Description

Proparacaine Impurity 13 (CAS CATO-C4X-202713) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H25NO3 and a molecular weight of 279.37 g/mol.

Structurally, Proparacaine Impurity 13 (C16H25NO3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 279.37 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
