Survodutide impurity profile

Every named species the index has reported alongside Survodutide, 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-γGlu linker (−129 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.95 min on RG-2
Mass difference
-129.043 Da
Reported in
69 of 70 records (99 %)
Level when reported
median 0.16 %, max 1.12 %
How it separates
Baseline-resolved on the reference method.

[D-Ser2]-diastereomer

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.26 min on RG-2
Mass difference
mass-identical — chromatography only
Reported in
68 of 70 records (97 %)
Level when reported
median 0.35 %, max 1.79 %
How it separates
Chromatography only. A gradient long enough to separate it; no mass spectrometer of any resolution will.

C18 diacid mono-ester

median 0.04 %, max 0.43 %
How it separates
Baseline-resolved on the reference method.

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.

  • aspartimide/β-Asp isomerisation at Asp15-Ser16
  • lipid-tail ester hydrolysis in aqueous storage
