Chemical Structure

Naproxen Impurity 37 CAS 676487-94-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 250.23 g/mol gives Naproxen Impurity 37 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Naproxen Impurity 37 (CAS 676487-94-8, C14H11O3Na) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Naproxen Impurity 37 (C14H11O3Na) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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.

CATO manufactures Naproxen Impurity 37 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.
