Chemical Structure

Vancomycin CAS 1404-90-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Vancomycin is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Vancomycin (CAS 1404-90-6), molecular formula C66H75Cl2N9O24 and molecular weight 1449.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Vancomycin (C66H75Cl2N9O24) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 33.0, corresponding to approximately 33 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 1449.25 g/mol, it falls into the high-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures Vancomycin under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
