Chemical Structure

Famotidine Impurity 82 CAS CATO-C4X-139282 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Famotidine Impurity 82 (CAS CATO-C4X-139282, C5H7ClN4S) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Famotidine Impurity 82 (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.

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.
