Chemical Structure

Bromhexine Impurity 11 CAS 21237-84-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Bromhexine Impurity 11.

Bromhexine Impurity 11 (CAS 21237-84-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C14H16Br2N2O and a molecular weight of 388.10 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Bromhexine Impurity 11 (C14H16Br2N2O) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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.
