Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 407.31 g/mol gives Sitagliptin EP Impurity A distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Sitagliptin EP Impurity A (CAS 823817-55-6) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H15F6N5O and a molecular weight of 407.31 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Sitagliptin EP Impurity A is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 407.31 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), Sitagliptin EP Impurity A 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.
