Loratadine N-oxide is a metabolite of loratadine, distinguished by the presence of an N-oxide functional group. This modification introduces a polar, electron-withdrawing moiety, altering its chemical properties. Its structure retains the tricyclic core and chlorophenyl substituent of the parent compound. It serves as a specific degradation byproduct reference standard.
