Metformin Impurity N74 CAS 1609-00-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Metformin Impurity N74 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

CATO supplies Metformin Impurity N74 (CAS 1609-00-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C3H9N5, MW 115.14 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Metformin Impurity N74 (C3H9N5) contains a nitrile group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 115.14 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
