Chemical Structure

Morinidazole Impurity 16 CAS CATO-C4X-219616 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Morinidazole Impurity 16 is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Morinidazole Impurity 16 (CAS CATO-C4X-219616), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C9H17N3O4, MW 231.25 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Morinidazole Impurity 16 (C9H17N3O4) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 231.25 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), Morinidazole Impurity 16 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.
