Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 264.75 g/mol gives Loxoprofen Impurity 56 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Loxoprofen Impurity 56 (CAS 200554-09-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C15H17ClO2 and a molecular weight of 264.75 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, Loxoprofen Impurity 56 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 264.75 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
