Chemical Structure

Amlexanox Impurity 4 CAS CATO-C4X-21764 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Amlexanox Impurity 4 (CAS CATO-C4X-21764), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H12N2O3, MW 280.28 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Amlexanox Impurity 4 (C16H12N2O3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

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.

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.
