Chemical Structure

Cefazolin EP Impurity G CAS 1172998-53-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 322.30 g/mol gives Cefazolin EP Impurity G distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Cefazolin EP Impurity G (CAS 1172998-53-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C11H10N6O4S, MW 322.30 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Cefazolin EP Impurity G (C11H10N6O4S) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 322.30 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
