The occurrence of Losartan impurity 31 is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Losartan impurity 31 (CAS CATO-C4X-168331) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C23H25ClN6O and a molecular weight of 436.94 g/mol.
Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Losartan impurity 31 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes ā including a molecular weight of 436.94 g/mol ā 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.
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.
