Chemical Structure

Bromfenac Impurity 3 CAS 1391052-54-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 370.13 g/mol gives Bromfenac Impurity 3 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Bromfenac Impurity 3 (CAS 1391052-54-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C15H9BrNO4Na and a molecular weight of 370.13 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Bromfenac Impurity 3 (C15H9BrNO4Na) is characterized by a salt form, a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. 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. 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.

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.
