Owing to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Epalrestat Impurity 19 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 205.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Epalrestat Impurity 19 (CAS 149789-77-5, C6H7NO3S2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Epalrestat Impurity 19 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
