Chemical Structure

Vildagliptin Impurity 18 CAS 5001-18-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 168.23 g/mol gives Vildagliptin Impurity 18 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Vildagliptin Impurity 18 (CAS 5001-18-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C10H16O2, MW 168.23 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Vildagliptin Impurity 18 is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.
