Chemical Structure

Amlodipine Impurity 20 CAS 400024-08-0 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Amlodipine Impurity 20 (C23H20ClNO6) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Amlodipine Impurity 20 (CAS 400024-08-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C23H20ClNO6 and a molecular weight of 441.86 g/mol.

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.
