Chemical Structure

Erlotinib impurity 141 CAS CATO-C4X-1069141 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Erlotinib impurity 141 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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Erlotinib impurity 141 (CAS CATO-C4X-1069141, C20H19N3O3HCl) 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, chlorine substitution, Erlotinib impurity 141 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 385.85 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
