Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 250.29 g/mol gives Telmisartan Impurity 16 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Telmisartan Impurity 16 (CAS 675882-71-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H18N2O3, MW 250.29 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Telmisartan Impurity 16 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 250.29 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.
CATO manufactures Telmisartan Impurity 16 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
