Chemical Structure

Gadobutrol Impurity 2 CAS CATO-C4X-21202 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Gadobutrol Impurity 2 is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Gadobutrol Impurity 2 (CAS CATO-C4X-21202, C16H36N4O6) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Gadobutrol Impurity 2 (C16H36N4O6) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
