Chemical Structure

Timolol EP Impurity B(Mixture of Enantiomers) CAS 59697-06-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Timolol EP Impurity B(Mixture of Enantiomers) (CAS 59697-06-2, C13H24N4O3S) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

The molecular framework of Timolol EP Impurity B(Mixture of Enantiomers) (C13H24N4O3S) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
