Chemical Structure

Racecadotril Impurity 16 CAS 2173396-73-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Racecadotril Impurity 16 is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Racecadotril Impurity 16 (CAS 2173396-73-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H23NO3S2 and a molecular weight of 401.54 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Racecadotril Impurity 16 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 401.54 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.

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.
