Chemical Structure

Citicoline Impurity 18 CAS CATO-C4X-220318 chemical structure

Description

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.

Citicoline Impurity 18 (CAS CATO-C4X-220318) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H25N6O12P and a molecular weight of 548.40 g/mol.

Citicoline Impurity 18 (C18H25N6O12P) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a phosphate ester 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).

CATO manufactures Citicoline 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.
