Nimodipine EP Impurity C (CAS 70172-96-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H26N2O8 and a molecular weight of 434.44 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Nimodipine EP Impurity C (C21H26N2O8) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide 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. 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.
