The occurrence of Olmesartan Impurity 62 is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Olmesartan Impurity 62 (CAS 91526-17-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C6H6O5 and a molecular weight of 158.11 g/mol.
Structurally, Olmesartan Impurity 62 (C6H6O5) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 158.11 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
