Chemical Structure

Famotidine Impurity 14 CAS 2114-02-5 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Famotidine Impurity 14 (CAS 2114-02-5, C2H6N4S) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Based on its molecular formula C2H6N4S, Famotidine Impurity 14 contains a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 118.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Famotidine Impurity 14 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.
