Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 307.43 g/mol gives Terbinafine Impurity 48 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Terbinafine Impurity 48 (CAS CATO-C4X-133848, C21H25NO) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Terbinafine Impurity 48 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 307.43 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), Terbinafine Impurity 48 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.
