Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Fenfluramine Impurity 5 HCl.
Fenfluramine Impurity 5 HCl (CAS 54779-55-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C12H16F3NHCl and a molecular weight of 267.72 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution, Fenfluramine Impurity 5 HCl is typically white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 267.72 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), Fenfluramine Impurity 5 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.
