Chemical Structure

Gefitinib Impurity 21 HCl CAS 184475-68-1 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Gefitinib Impurity 21 HCl (CAS 184475-68-1, C22H24F2N4O3HCl) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

The molecular framework of Gefitinib Impurity 21 HCl (C22H24F2N4O3HCl) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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), Gefitinib Impurity 21 HCl 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.
