Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 290.14 g/mol gives Aripiprazole Impurity 21 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Aripiprazole Impurity 21 (CAS 2250243-33-3, C12H13Cl2NO3) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Aripiprazole Impurity 21 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 290.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
