Ganciclovir divalinate is a dicationic derivative of the antiviral nucleoside ganciclovir, featuring a protonated guanine base and a phosphorylated cyclopropylmethyl sugar moiety. The compound exhibits enhanced ionic interactions due to its divalent cationic state, arising from deprotonation of the terminal hydroxyl group and protonation of the exocyclic amine. Structurally, it retains the acyclic nucleoside scaffold of ganciclovir but with a modified phosphate ester linkage. This impurity is formed during oxidative degradation of the parent drug under alkaline conditions. It serves as an HPLC reference standard for quantifying degradation products in ganciclovir formulations.
