Chemical Structure

Remdesivir Impurity 4 CAS 55094-52-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Remdesivir Impurity 4 is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Remdesivir Impurity 4 (CAS 55094-52-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C26H26O5, MW 418.48 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Remdesivir Impurity 4 (C26H26O5) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 14.0, corresponding to approximately 14 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 418.48 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), Remdesivir Impurity 4 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.
