Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 320.88 g/mol gives Chlorpromazine EP Impurity C HCl distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Chlorpromazine EP Impurity C HCl (CAS 53-60-1, C17H20N2SHCl) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Chlorpromazine EP Impurity C HCl (C17H20N2SHCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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), Chlorpromazine EP Impurity C 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.
