Chemical Structure

Cefuroxime Impurity 51 CAS 213912-35-7 chemical structure

Description

Cefuroxime Impurity 51 (CAS 213912-35-7) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C15H15N3O7S and a molecular weight of 381.36 g/mol.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Cefuroxime Impurity 51 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 381.36 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).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

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.
