Chemical Structure

Cloxacillin Impurity 16 CAS 1143-82-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Cloxacillin Impurity 16.

Cloxacillin Impurity 16 (CAS 1143-82-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C13H13NO3 and a molecular weight of 231.25 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Cloxacillin Impurity 16 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 231.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.

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.
