Chemical Structure

Famotidine Impurity 23 CAS 106649-95-0 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Famotidine Impurity 23.

Famotidine Impurity 23 (CAS 106649-95-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C3H8ClN3O2SHCl and a molecular weight of 222.08 g/mol.

Owing to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Famotidine Impurity 23 is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 222.08 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Famotidine Impurity 23 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
