Chemical Structure

Sofosbuvir Impurity 3 CAS CATO-C4X-10523 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Sofosbuvir Impurity 3 (C20H17FO6) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional 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).

Sofosbuvir Impurity 3 (CAS CATO-C4X-10523) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H17FO6 and a molecular weight of 372.34 g/mol.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

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.
