Chemical Structure

Afatinib Impurity 73 CAS CATO-C4X-100673 chemical structure

Description

Afatinib Impurity 73 (CAS CATO-C4X-100673) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C22H14N4O3 and a molecular weight of 382.37 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Afatinib Impurity 73 (C22H14N4O3) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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 73 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.
