• Product Information

• Product Number: V043010

• English Name: Vismodegib Impurity 10

• English Alias: 1,2-bis(4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl)diazene

• CAS Number: 1977536-53-0

• Molecular Formula: C₂₂H₁₄Cl₂N₄

• Molecular Weight: 405.28

• Advantages

• As an azo impurity of Vismodegib, this compound has the following advantages:
• 
  

• Well-defined and highly characteristic structure: A symmetric structure with two chloropyridylphenyl groups linked by an azo bond (-N=N-), significantly different from the benzamide monomolecular structure of Vismodegib. It can be accurately identified by techniques like HPLC and LC-MS, providing a specific marker for impurity detection;

• High stability and traceability: The azo bond is relatively stable under dark conditions. As a product of oxidative coupling of aniline raw materials in Vismodegib synthesis, it directly reflects the degree of amino oxidation, improving the traceability accuracy of oxidation control in the process;

• High detection sensitivity: The azo bond forms a large conjugated system with two aromatic rings, showing characteristic absorption in the visible region (400-500nm). Trace analysis can be achieved via HPLC-UV/Vis, reducing detection difficulty and enhancing method specificity.

• Applications

• Pharmaceutical quality control: Used as an impurity reference standard to identify and quantify Impurity 10 in Vismodegib APIs, ensuring residual oxidative coupling products of aniline raw materials meet quality standards;

• Synthesis process optimization: Reducing azo impurity formation by monitoring its content and optimizing antioxidant measures (e.g., adding antioxidants) and inert gas protection conditions in the reaction system;

• Stability evaluation: Used to assess the oxidative degradation trend of Vismodegib formulations during storage, assisting in verifying the light protection and sealing performance of packaging materials.

• Background Description

• Vismodegib is a Hedgehog signaling pathway inhibitor used in the treatment of tumors such as basal cell carcinoma. Its synthetic raw material, 4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)aniline, may undergo oxidative coupling when exposed to oxygen during storage or reaction, generating azo impurities like 1,2-bis(4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl)diazene. Azo compounds may have potential toxicity (e.g., sensitization) and could affect the chemical stability of the drug, making their control a key part of ensuring Vismodegib quality and safety.

• Research Status

• Current research focuses on:
• 
  

• Detection method optimization: Using UPLC-DAD to optimize detection wavelengths based on the characteristic visible absorption of azo bonds, achieving trace detection of this impurity (detection limits up to ppm level);

• Oxidation inhibition strategies: Adding trace hindered phenol antioxidants (e.g., BHT) to the synthesis system to inhibit oxidative coupling of aniline raw materials and reduce impurity formation;

• Toxicological evaluation: Assessing the potential sensitization of this azo compound through skin sensitization tests to support strict impurity limit standards;

• Storage condition studies: Exploring the impact of temperature, light, and oxygen concentration on the formation rate of this impurity to establish optimal storage protocols for Vismodegib APIs
