Methotrexate impurity N1 CAS 4215-07-0 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 Methotrexate impurity N1.

CATO supplies Methotrexate impurity N1 (CAS 4215-07-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C7H8N6, MW 176.18 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrile group, an aromatic ring system, Methotrexate impurity N1 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 176.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), Methotrexate impurity N1 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.
