About Metformin Impurity 538
Metformin Impurity 538 is a specified impurity of Metformin. It has no single publicly registered CAS number, so it is defined by the structure and molecular formula below.
The compound is characterised by its molecular formula C3H8N6O and a molecular weight of 144.14, with the two-dimensional structure shown above. Because it shares the Metformin scaffold, it is typically used to track process-related and degradation impurities of Metformin during method development, forced degradation and stability studies.
Computed from the structure, the compound has a monoisotopic mass of 144.0760 Da, a calculated LogP of -0.98, a topological polar surface area of 118.42 Ų. It presents 4 hydrogen-bond donors and 4 acceptors. These values are commonly used to anticipate chromatographic retention and to plan ionisation conditions during method development.
Each pack ships with a certificate of analysis together with the supporting analytical data — HNMR, MS and HPLC or GC traces — so the material can be released straight into your own QC workflow.
Available from stock in milligram to gram quantities; larger or custom synthesis requirements are quoted on request.
