Chemical Structure

HISTIDINE impurity 3 CAS CATO-C4X-32393 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C6H9N3O3, HISTIDINE impurity 3 contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 171.15 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, HISTIDINE impurity 3 (CAS CATO-C4X-32393, C6H9N3O3) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
