Overview
Lidocaine EP Impurity I (HCl) is a certified reference standard used for quality control in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It represents a specific degradation or synthesis byproduct of lidocaine hydrochloride, monitored to ensure compliance with European Pharmacopoeia limits. The molecular formula is C14H23N2O2Cl, and its CAS number is 6720-56-9.
Application
- Analytical calibration for HPLC and GC systems in drug substance testing.
- Method validation during stability-indicating assay development.
- Quality assurance verification for generic lidocaine formulations.
Precautions
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent hydrolysis. Handle with appropriate PPE as it may cause skin irritation. Strictly limit exposure to avoid unintended contamination of bulk active pharmaceutical ingredients.
