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 process- or degradation-related impurity, Nicotinamide EP Impurity C (CAS 1452-77-3, C6H6N2O) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Nicotinamide EP Impurity C is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 122.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
As a certified reference material (CRM), Nicotinamide EP Impurity C 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.
