Chemical Structure

Drotaverin Impurity 64 CAS CATO-C4X-243564 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Drotaverin Impurity 64 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Drotaverin Impurity 64 (CAS CATO-C4X-243564), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H18O4, MW 238.28 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C13H18O4, Drotaverin Impurity 64 contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 238.28 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

CATO manufactures Drotaverin Impurity 64 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.
