Duloxetine Impurity (CAS 199191-67-8) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C26H23NO4S and a molecular weight of 445.53 g/mol.
Duloxetine Impurity (C26H23NO4S) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
