Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Gramicidin.
Gramicidin (CAS 1405-97-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C99H140N20O17 and a molecular weight of 1882.29 g/mol.
Structurally, Gramicidin (C99H140N20O17) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 40.0, corresponding to approximately 40 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 1882.29 g/mol, it falls into the high-molecular-weight range. 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 is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
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.
