Chemical Structure

Famotidine EP Impurity H Dihydrochloride CAS 88046-01-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Famotidine EP Impurity H Dihydrochloride is closely related to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Famotidine EP Impurity H Dihydrochloride (CAS 88046-01-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C6H10N6S2HCl and a molecular weight of 266.77 g/mol.

Famotidine EP Impurity H Dihydrochloride (C6H10N6S2HCl) contains a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
