Chemical Structure

Afatinib Impurity 30 CAS CATO-C4X-100630 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Afatinib Impurity 30 is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Afatinib Impurity 30 (CAS CATO-C4X-100630, C20H21ClFN5O2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, Afatinib Impurity 30 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 417.86 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Afatinib Impurity 30 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.
