Chemical Structure

Vardenafil Impurity 20 CAS 879-57-2 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Vardenafil Impurity 20 (CAS 879-57-2, C9H12N2O2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

The molecular framework of Vardenafil Impurity 20 (C9H12N2O2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, 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. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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 Vardenafil Impurity 20 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.
