Chemical Structure

Glimepiride Impurity 18 CAS 41176-69-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 252.40 g/mol gives Glimepiride Impurity 18 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Glimepiride Impurity 18 (CAS 41176-69-6, C15H28N2O) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Glimepiride Impurity 18 (C15H28N2O) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Glimepiride Impurity 18 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
