Description
Levocarnitine EP Impurity A
Levocarnitine EP Impurity A is a pharmaceutical impurity reference standard supplied by Allas Chem Tech, related to Levocarnitine. It is intended for use in analytical method validation (AMV) and routine quality control (QC) testing of Levocarnitine drug substance and drug product batches.
About This Impurity Standard
Levocarnitine EP Impurity A is characterised and supplied as a 50 mg reference standard pack, priced at Rs.7900/- and currently shown as In Stock on the product listing. STRONG FLAG on CAS — no single CAS is agreed under this exact product name: Veeprho explicitly lists the compound's own CAS as "N/A," while SynZeal sells the product as a hydrate and cites CAS 927-89-9 for a separate, distinct "Free Base" form only — not for the hydrate actually being sold. Both sources agree on formula/MW for the compound itself (C7H13NO2, MW 143.18, a crotonobetaine-type unsaturated betaine). CAS left blank rather than publishing 927-89-9 as if it unambiguously identifies this exact hydrate product. Chemically, this impurity equals parent Levocarnitine (C7H15NO3, MW 161.20) minus one water molecule, consistent with a dehydration degradation product.

Analytical Applications
General Use
This reference standard supports impurity profiling, forced-degradation studies, and stability-indicating HPLC/UPLC method development and validation for Levocarnitine-based formulations, in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B impurity qualification requirements.
Compound-Specific Notes
CAS flag: Veeprho lists "N/A"; SynZeal's 927-89-9 is explicitly for a separate freebase form, not confirmed to be the exact hydrate product sold here — CAS left blank rather than risk misattribution. Formula/MW/chemical name are well-agreed by both sources.
Quality Control
Use of a well-characterized Levocarnitine EP Impurity A reference standard supports accurate peak identification and quantitation during routine QC release testing and stability studies for Levocarnitine drug substance and finished-dose batches.
Documentation Supplied
Each unit of Levocarnitine EP Impurity A ships with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and supporting HPLC chromatographic/analytical data confirming the stated identity and purity.
Synonyms and Alternate Designations
- Crotonobetaine (widely-used common literature name for this compound, stated directly in the chemical-name field by the sourced material)
