Chemical Structure

Esomeprazole Impurity 66 CAS 14248-66-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 168.15 g/mol gives Esomeprazole Impurity 66 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Esomeprazole Impurity 66 (CAS 14248-66-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C7H8N2O3 and a molecular weight of 168.15 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C7H8N2O3, Esomeprazole Impurity 66 contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 168.15 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
