Chemical Structure

Caspofungin Acetate CAS 179463-17-3 chemical structure

Description

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

Caspofungin Acetate (CAS 179463-17-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C52H88N10O15C2H4O2 and a molecular weight of 1153.38 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Caspofungin Acetate is typically pale yellow to yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 1153.38 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 Caspofungin Acetate 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.
