Aminoglutethimide impurity A is a contaminant in aminoglutethimide, a drug used to treat cancer. Aminoglutethimide impurity A can be detected by liquid chromatography with UV detection at the wavelength of 230 nm. The quantified amount of this substance can be determined from calibration curves that are based on the response of human tissue to the same compound. The clinical relevance of aminoglutethimide impurity A is not known, but it may contribute to the development of cancer when combined with other carcinogens.
