Chemical Structure

Pethidine impurity 9 CAS CATO-C4X-22329 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Pethidine impurity 9 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Pethidine impurity 9 (CAS CATO-C4X-22329), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H25N3, MW 259.39 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, Pethidine impurity 9 is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 259.39 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), Pethidine impurity 9 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.
