The occurrence of Famotidine Impurity 39 is closely related to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Famotidine Impurity 39 (CAS CATO-C4X-139239), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C5H7ClN4S, MW 190.65 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Famotidine Impurity 39 (C5H7ClN4S) contains a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Famotidine Impurity 39 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.
