Chemical Structure

Glutathione impurity 20 CAS 70555-25-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 483.52 g/mol gives Glutathione impurity 20 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Glutathione impurity 20 (CAS 70555-25-8, C15H25N5O9S2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Glutathione impurity 20 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 483.52 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), Glutathione impurity 20 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.
