Chemical Structure

Pirfenidone Impurity 26 CAS 4588-15-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 139.11 g/mol gives Pirfenidone Impurity 26 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Pirfenidone Impurity 26 (CAS 4588-15-2, C6H5NO3) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Pirfenidone Impurity 26 is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 139.11 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
