Chemical Structure

Budesonide Impurity N2 CAS 39672-76-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Budesonide Impurity N2 is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Budesonide Impurity N2 (CAS 39672-76-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H26O5, MW 358.43 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Budesonide Impurity N2 (C21H26O5) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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.
