TB-500 impurity profile

Every named species the index has reported alongside TB-500, 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 TB-500 (−42 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.52 min on RG-2
Mass difference
-42.011 Da
Reported in
244 of 268 records (91 %)
Level when reported
median 0.11 %, max 0.79 %
How it separates
Baseline-resolved on the reference method.

des-Gln truncate (−128 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.24 min on RG-2
Mass difference
-128.059 Da
Reported in
240 of 268 records (90 %)
Level when reported
median 0.09 %, max 1.48 %
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.

C-terminal amide (−1 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
+0.18 min on RG-2
Mass difference
-0.984 Da
Reported in
230 of 268 records (86 %)
Level when reported
median 0.08 %, max 1.35 %
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.

[D-Thr]-diastereomer

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.11 min on RG-2
Mass difference
mass-identical — chromatography only
Reported in
228 of 268 records (85 %)
Level when reported
median 0.08 %, max 1.16 %
How it separates
Chromatography only. A gradient long enough to separate it; no mass spectrometer of any resolution 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.

  • acetyl loss under acidic hydrolysis
  • no oxidative liability
