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.
Fludarabine Impurity 18 (CAS 15811-32-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H18FN5O7 and a molecular weight of 411.34 g/mol.
Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Fludarabine Impurity 18 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 411.34 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).
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.
