Chemical Structure

Zonisamide Impurity 15 CAS 23008-65-3 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Zonisamide 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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Zonisamide Impurity 15 (CAS 23008-65-3, C11H11NO3) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Zonisamide Impurity 15 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 205.21 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.
