Chemical Structure

Acetylcysteine Impurity 40 CAS 25779-79-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Acetylcysteine Impurity 40.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Acetylcysteine Impurity 40 (CAS 25779-79-7, C8H14N2O5S2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Acetylcysteine Impurity 40 is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 282.34 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).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

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.
