Chemical Structure

Minoxidil impurity 48 CAS 1350513-60-8 chemical structure

Description

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.

Minoxidil impurity 48 (CAS 1350513-60-8) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C9H14N6O2 and a molecular weight of 238.25 g/mol.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Minoxidil impurity 48 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 238.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.
