Section 1

Results

Measured against the index acceptance specification for the non-peptide adjuncts class. A specification is a decision the index made; a result is a measurement. See where each threshold came from.

Section 2

Chromatogram and peak integration

The figure is drawn from the table. It is not an independent illustration — if a number in the table changed, the trace would change with it.

Figure 1. RP-HPLC trace, 25 min gradient, 214 nm. Drawn from the peak-integration table below: peak positions are the reported retention times, peak areas are the reported area percentages, peak widths follow the reported plate count of 72,353, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 0.86. Baseline noise is seeded from the report ID and is illustrative. The lower panel is the same trace at a stated vertical expansion with the slow gradient drift subtracted, because at full scale a 0.39 % impurity against a 99.29 % main peak is a line two pixels tall; the main peak runs off-scale there by design.

#	Peak	RT	Area (µV·s)	% area	Δ mass (Da)
1	MK-677 (Ibutamoren mesylate) — main peak	11.78	4,825,802	99.29	—
2	sulfonamide hydrolysis product (+18 Da)	11.06	18,955	0.39	+18.011
3	free base (des-mesylate, −96 Da)	11.81	7,776	0.16	-96.011
4	spiroindane regioisomer	12.15	3,402	0.07	0.000
5	residual DMF (process solvent)	4.95	2,430	0.05	-551.000
6	O-desmethyl metabolite analogue (−14 Da)	11.35	1,944	0.04	-14.016
Closure check — purity + Σ impurities				100.00	CLOSES

Reporting threshold 0.05 % area. Peaks below it are not reported and are therefore excluded from the total, which overstates purity by their sum — see peak integration.

Section 3

Mass spectrum and identity

Theoretical monoisotopic mass 624.2181 Da, computed from C27H36N4O5S · CH4O3S. All ppm figures on this site are against monoisotopic values — see why that matters.

Figure 2. ESI charge-state envelope, unit-resolution instrument. Sticks are placed at m/z = (M + z × 1.007276)/z for the observed neutral mass of 624.2190 Da. Sodium (+21.982/z) and potassium (+37.956/z) adducts are shown where the parent charge state exceeds 25 % relative abundance; they are adducts of the same molecule and are not impurities.

Charge	Theoretical m/z	Observed m/z	Δ m/z	Rel. abundance (%)
2+	313.1163	313.1168	0.0005	56.2
1+	625.2254	625.2263	0.0009	100.0

Section 4

Gravimetric mass balance

Water, counter-ion, residual and total peptide content are exhaustive and mutually exclusive categories. They must account for 100 % of the cake mass. The index closes this to within 0.02 pp and the build asserts it.

Component	Determination	%w/w of cake
Water	Karl Fischer	4.65
Counter-ion (mesylate)	ion chromatography	16.11
Residual solvent + inorganic residue	estimated	0.20
Total peptide content	by difference	79.04
Total		100.00 CLOSES

Supplier certificate, as declared

The supplier's own figures for this lot, beside the independent measurement. Divergence is assessed against the batch median, not against this single report — see rule AX-R05.

Figure	Supplier COA	This report	Index note
Purity (% area)	99.0	99.29	divergence -0.10 pp vs batch median
Total impurities (% area)	1.00	0.71

Counter-ion (%)	9.0	16.11
Peptide content (%w/w)	86.9	79.04

Provenance and caveats

Where a sample came from changes the weight of the evidence. The index treats it as a first-class field.

Sample provenance: Buyer-sourced
Evidentiary weight: Strongest available evidence in this index.
Chain of custody: Retail purchase → third-party forwarder (31 d) → laboratory (courier, cold pack, 4 d) → assay.
Assay date: 30 Oct 2024
Submitted to the index: 12 Nov 2024
Laboratory: Medutest, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Method basis: 25 min gradient · unit-resolution MS
Verification status: IDENTITY CONSISTENT

What this report does not establish

That the compound is not a near-isobaric alternative. Identity was confirmed at unit mass resolution, which cannot exclude species differing by 1 or 2 Da. The specific alternatives not excluded are named in the identity block above.
That the material is free of bacterial endotoxin. Endotoxin was not measured. No chromatographic result bears on it.
That the material is sterile. Sterility was not tested.
That any other vial in the same lot has the same composition. One vial was tested. Within-lot vial-to-vial variation in this index has a median of 0.28 pp and a 90th percentile of 0.74 pp.
That any other lot from the same supplier has the same composition. Batch-to-batch variation is larger than within-batch variation for every supplier here.
That the material is suitable for administration to a human or an animal. These are research compounds. No result on this site is a safety assessment and the index takes no position on use.
That the material was manufactured by the supplier that sold it. Contract synthesis is normal in this market and twenty-nine batches in the index fingerprint to a bulk from a different company than the one named on the label.

Annotations 4

Signed technical comments from index contributors. Not a discussion forum — annotations question or contextualise the result, and the data team replies where a reply is warranted.

quad_unit12 Nov 2024

Identity confirmed and purity at 99.29 %. The two answer different questions — what it is, and how much else is in it — and a record carrying both is the version worth citing.

coa_reader12 Nov 2024

Declared figure and measured figure on this lot agree within measurement repeatability. Whatever the rounding convention is doing, it is not moving the number away from the material.

round_numbers12 Nov 2024

The declared figure for WXT-2408-P3767 and the independent median differ by less than the inter-lab limits of agreement. That is the comparison that matters and the rounding does not change it.

desiccant_note12 Nov 2024

The packaging as received is part of the evidence on a retail purchase. Whether a desiccant was in the box is a fact about ordinary shipments, not about sample shipments.
