The occurrence of Flurbiprofen Impurity 8 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Flurbiprofen Impurity 8 (CAS 542-10-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C6H10O4 and a molecular weight of 146.14 g/mol.
Structurally, Flurbiprofen Impurity 8 (C6H10O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 146.14 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.
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.
