Chemical Structure

Naproxen EP Impurity E CAS 26159-35-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Naproxen EP Impurity E.

CATO supplies Naproxen EP Impurity E (CAS 26159-35-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H16O3, MW 244.29 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Naproxen EP Impurity E (C15H16O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 244.29 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

CATO manufactures Naproxen EP Impurity E 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.
