FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Are WR-2721 and WR-1065 the same substance?
A: Amifostine (WR-2721), CAS 20537-88-6, is an organophosphorothioate compound also known as WR-2721. WR-1065 is a distinct metabolite with a different CAS number, so the exact name and CAS should be used to avoid substitution. -
Q:
Which chemical form should be confirmed for Amifostine?
A: Confirm the exact chemical form, salt or hydration state, specification, intended use and documentation needs. Amifostine may be offered in different physical forms, so the quotation should state the precise form and analytical basis. -
Q:
Which specifications should be agreed for Amifostine supply?
A: Confirm offered physical form, assay and impurity requirements, residual solvents, water, related substances and any required reference or compendial standard. The product specification should correspond to the exact material and lot being quoted. -
Q:
What compliance and documentation should be checked for regulated use?
A: For a regulated intended use, the buyer must confirm the exact material form and applicable requirements before procurement. Confirm local regulatory suitability and request current product-specific specifications, packaging details and document availability. -
Q:
What appearance, solubility and stability should be expected for Amifostine?
A: Amifostine CAS 20537-88-6, formula C5H15N2O3PS and molecular weight 214.22, is normally a white solid or powder melting near 160-161 C, often with decomposition. It is soluble in water but unstable, especially in acidic aqueous solution, so confirm the offered form and refrigerated, moisture-protected handling conditions.
