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
