Chemical Structure

Erlotinib Impurity 87 CAS CATO-C4X-106987 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Erlotinib Impurity 87.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Erlotinib Impurity 87 (CAS CATO-C4X-106987, C8H8BrN) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Erlotinib Impurity 87 (C8H8BrN) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, bromine substitution. 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.
