Chemical Structure

Safinamide Impurity 60 CAS CATO-C4X-159060 chemical structure

Description

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.

Safinamide Impurity 60 (CAS CATO-C4X-159060) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H25FN4O3 and a molecular weight of 388.44 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C20H25FN4O3, Safinamide Impurity 60 contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 388.44 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
