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.
Febuxostat Impurity 62 (CAS 2476465-11-7) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H21NO5S and a molecular weight of 363.43 g/mol.
Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Febuxostat Impurity 62 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 363.43 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.
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.
