Chemical Structure

Ambrisentan Impurity 5 CAS 178306-51-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ambrisentan Impurity 5 is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ambrisentan Impurity 5 (CAS 178306-51-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H16O4 and a molecular weight of 272.30 g/mol.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ambrisentan Impurity 5 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 272.30 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ambrisentan Impurity 5 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.
