Chemical Structure

Pioglitazone impurity 26 CAS 446052-43-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 438.97 g/mol gives Pioglitazone impurity 26 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Pioglitazone impurity 26 (CAS 446052-43-3, C21H27ClN2O4S) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Pioglitazone impurity 26 (C21H27ClN2O4S) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone 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.
