Analysis & Documentation
Identity
Each production lot is checked against the reference structure recorded for this compound:
- Classification — Small-molecule NNMT inhibitor
- Molecular formula — C₁₀H₁₁IN₂ (iodide salt)
- Expected mass — 286.11 Da (iodide salt)
- CAS registry — 42464-96-0 (iodide salt)
- PubChem CID — 950107 (cation)
Analytical Methods
Testing is carried out per lot by an independent laboratory. The methods measure what the material is and how much of it is the target compound:
- RP-HPLC — reverse-phase separation of the target from process-related impurities; purity is reported as area percent of the main peak
- Mass spectrometry — observed mass compared against the expected molecular mass above
- Retention time — compared against a reference standard run under the same conditions
- Chromatogram — reproduced on the certificate so the peak and any shoulders can be inspected directly
