Chemical Structure

Bromfenac Impurity 1 CAS 61941-62-6 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 Bromfenac Impurity 1.

CATO supplies Bromfenac Impurity 1 (CAS 61941-62-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H11ClNO3Na, MW 311.70 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Bromfenac Impurity 1 (C15H11ClNO3Na) contains a salt form, a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.5, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 311.70 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
