Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Roflumilast Impurity 11.
As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Roflumilast Impurity 11 (CAS 159783-78-5, C5H4BrClN2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Based on its molecular formula C5H4BrClN2, Roflumilast Impurity 11 contains a nitrile group, chlorine/bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 207.46 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).
Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.
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.
