Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Afatinib Impurity 17.
Afatinib Impurity 17 (CAS CATO-C4X-100617) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H18Cl2FN5O and a molecular weight of 434.29 g/mol.
Afatinib Impurity 17 (C20H18Cl2FN5O) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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 Afatinib Impurity 17 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.
