CATO manufactures Nefopam Impurity 7 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.
As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Nefopam Impurity 7 (CAS 22103-85-1, C14H9ClO2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, Nefopam Impurity 7 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 244.67 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
