Chemical Structure

Naproxen Impurity 48 CAS CATO-C4X-170848 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Naproxen Impurity 48 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine/iodine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Naproxen Impurity 48 (CAS CATO-C4X-170848, C14H12BrIO2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Based on its molecular formula C14H12BrIO2, Naproxen Impurity 48 contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine/iodine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 419.05 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

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.
