GHRP-2 impurity profile

Every named species the index has reported alongside GHRP-2, how often, at what level, and what its presence implies about the synthesis or the handling. Reporting threshold is 0.05 % area; anything below it is invisible to this page and is silently added to the main peak.

oxidised Trp (+16 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.36 min on RG-2
Mass difference
+15.995 Da
Reported in
94 of 97 records (97 %)
Level when reported
median 0.19 %, max 1.40 %
Resolution requirement
Baseline-resolved on the reference method.

C-terminal free acid (+1 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
+0.16 min on RG-2
Mass difference
+0.984 Da
Reported in
93 of 97 records (96 %)
Level when reported
median 0.12 %, max 1.02 %
Resolution requirement
Close-eluting — resolution below 1.2 is common and the peaks merge on short gradients.

des-Lys (−128 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.24 min on RG-2
Mass difference
-128.095 Da
Reported in
92 of 97 records (95 %)
Level when reported
median 0.11 %, max 0.88 %
Resolution requirement
Close-eluting — resolution below 1.2 is common and the peaks merge on short gradients.

[D-2-Nal]-epimer

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.14 min on RG-2
Mass difference
mass-identical — chromatography only
Reported in
91 of 97 records (94 %)
Level when reported
median 0.13 %, max 0.92 %
Resolution requirement
A gradient long enough to separate it. No mass spectrometer will.

Degradation pathways

Degradants are a handling finding rather than a synthesis finding. A lot that shipped clean and arrived oxidised tells you about the courier, not the chemist.

  • Trp oxidation
  • C-terminal amide hydrolysis
