Piperaquine Impurity 1 DiHCl (CAS CATO-C4X-23371) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H19Cl2N3HCl and a molecular weight of 360.71 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Piperaquine Impurity 1 DiHCl (C16H19Cl2N3HCl) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).
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), Piperaquine Impurity 1 DiHCl 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.
