Chemical Structure

Emtricitabine Impurity 1 CAS 1238210-10-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

Emtricitabine Impurity 1 (CAS 1238210-10-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C8H8FN3O4S and a molecular weight of 261.23 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C8H8FN3O4S, Emtricitabine Impurity 1 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 261.23 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
