2-Methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazole-1-ethanol · CAS 443-48-1
A commodity nitroimidazole where price moves more than specification. Held in stock in the EP grade with 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole controlled, since that is the impurity most pharmacopoeial methods target.
Part of the anti-infective line. These are the products where a supplier switch triggers a regulatory filing, so the CoA history and the impurity methods travel with the material.
