GHRP-2 impurity profile

Every named species the index has reported alongside GHRP-2, 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.

oxidised Trp (+16 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.36 min on RG-2
Mass difference
+15.995 Da
Reported in
103 of 110 records (94 %)
Level when reported
median 0.19 %, max 0.95 %
How it separates
Baseline-resolved on the reference method.

[D-2-Nal]-epimer

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.14 min on RG-2
Mass difference
mass-identical — chromatography only
Reported in
98 of 110 records (89 %)
Level when reported
median 0.12 %, max 0.51 %
How it separates
Chromatography only. A gradient long enough to separate it; no mass spectrometer of any resolution will.

C-terminal free acid (+1 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
+0.16 min on RG-2
Mass difference
+0.984 Da
Reported in
97 of 110 records (88 %)
Level when reported
median 0.07 %, max 1.16 %
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.

des-Lys (−128 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.24 min on RG-2
Mass difference
-128.095 Da
Reported in
96 of 110 records (87 %)
Level when reported
median 0.15 %, max 0.87 %
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.

  • Trp oxidation
  • C-terminal amide hydrolysis
