Triptorelin impurity profile

Every named species the index has reported alongside Triptorelin, 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.

[L-Trp6]-diastereomer (gonadorelin analogue)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.20 min on RG-2
Mass difference
mass-identical — chromatography only
Reported in
10 of 10 records (100 %)
Level when reported
median 0.28 %, max 1.41 %
Resolution requirement
A gradient long enough to separate it. No mass spectrometer will.

oxidised Trp (+16 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.34 min on RG-2
Mass difference
+15.995 Da
Reported in
10 of 10 records (100 %)
Level when reported
median 0.26 %, max 0.47 %
Resolution requirement
Baseline-resolved on the reference method.

ring-opened pGlu (+18 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.48 min on RG-2
Mass difference
+18.011 Da
Reported in
10 of 10 records (100 %)
Level when reported
median 0.18 %, max 1.05 %
Resolution requirement
Baseline-resolved on the reference method.

des-Gly10-NH2 (−74 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.26 min on RG-2
Mass difference
-74.048 Da
Reported in
9 of 10 records (90 %)
Level when reported
median 0.13 %, max 0.32 %
Resolution requirement
Close-eluting — resolution below 1.2 is common and the peaks merge on short gradients.

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.

  • epimerisation at Trp6
  • pGlu ring opening
