Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Montelukast Impurity 44.
Montelukast Impurity 44 (CAS 2365398-66-7) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C34H36ClNOS and a molecular weight of 542.17 g/mol.
Structurally, Montelukast Impurity 44 (C34H36ClNOS) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 17.0, corresponding to approximately 17 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 542.17 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
