Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 491.07 g/mol gives Verapamil Impurity 22 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Verapamil Impurity 22 (CAS 38176-02-2, C27H38N2O4HCl) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Verapamil Impurity 22 (C27H38N2O4HCl) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
