N-Acetyl Semax Amide impurity profile

Every named species the index has reported alongside N-Acetyl Semax Amide, 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.

des-acetyl amide (−42 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.40 min on RG-2
Mass difference
-42.011 Da
Reported in
80 of 88 records (91 %)
Level when reported
median 0.10 %, max 0.97 %
How it separates
Baseline-resolved on the reference method.

N-acetyl semax free acid (+1 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
+0.22 min on RG-2
Mass difference
+0.984 Da
Reported in
75 of 88 records (85 %)
Level when reported
median 0.18 %, max 1.04 %
How it separates
Close-eluting on the reference method, and merged with the main peak on a short gradient. The index prints the resolution figure for such a pair and applies no criterion to it — where the two are not separated, what matters is that the integration convention is stated.

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.

  • acetyl loss
  • C-terminal amide hydrolysis
  • Met oxidation
