General description

4-Chloro-1-butanol, an alkylating agent, is one of the genotoxic impurity in active pharmaceutical ingredients. Reaction of 4-chloro-1-butanol and Reichardt′s dye has been monitored spectrophotometrically for the determination of genotoxic impurities in pharmaceuticals.

Application

4-Chloro-1-butanol was employed as an internal standard in the analysis of genotoxic impurities in active pharmaceutical ingredients by GC-MS technique.

Other Notes

Contains tetrahydrofuran and HCl

Koki Harigaya et al.
Chemical & pharmaceutical bulletin, 62(4), 395-398 (2014-04-04)
The analysis of genotoxic impurities (GTIs) in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is a challenging task. The target detection limit (DL) in an API is typically around 1 ppm (1 µg/g API). Therefore, a sensitive and selective analytical method is required for their
Damion K Corrigan et al.
The Journal of pharmacy and pharmacology, 61(4), 533-537 (2009-03-21)
Alkylating agents are potentially genotoxic impurities that may be present in drug products. These impurities occur in pharmaceuticals as by-products from the synthetic steps involved in drug production, as impurities in starting materials or from in-situ reactions that take place
