Do you mean "impugn"? That is a verb, meaning to attack as false or questionable, as in to impugn one's reputation.
I didn't know that there even is a word "impune" (which would be pronounced the same way), but Websters' Revised Unabridged Dictionary defines it as an adjective meaning "unpunished." I just learned something new!
But I am guessing that you really meant impugn.
