The occurrence of Temozolomide Impurity 22 is closely related to a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Temozolomide Impurity 22 (CAS 1114912-01-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C4HN5 and a molecular weight of 119.08 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Temozolomide Impurity 22 (C4HN5) is characterized by a nitrile group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
