Guaiazulene Impurity 4 CAS CATO-C4X-22374 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 228.29 g/mol gives Guaiazulene Impurity 4 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Guaiazulene Impurity 4 (CAS CATO-C4X-22374) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C15H16O2 and a molecular weight of 228.29 g/mol.

Structurally, Guaiazulene Impurity 4 (C15H16O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 228.29 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Guaiazulene Impurity 4 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.
