Chemical Structure

Losartan EP Impurity K CAS 114798-36-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 420.89 g/mol gives Losartan EP Impurity K distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Losartan EP Impurity K (CAS 114798-36-6) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C22H21ClN6O and a molecular weight of 420.89 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Losartan EP Impurity K is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 420.89 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
