Chemical Structure

Dexmedetomidine Impurity 15 CAS 2250242-52-3 chemical structure

Description

Dexmedetomidine Impurity 15 (CAS 2250242-52-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H22N2 and a molecular weight of 290.40 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, Dexmedetomidine Impurity 15 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 290.40 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Dexmedetomidine Impurity 15 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.
