Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 434.51 g/mol gives Adapalene impurity 17 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Adapalene impurity 17 (CAS 911110-93-5) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C28H27O3Na and a molecular weight of 434.51 g/mol.
Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Adapalene impurity 17 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 434.51 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Adapalene impurity 17 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.
