Chemical Structure

Cefradine EP Impurity A/Cefadroxil EP Impurity B CAS 22252-43-3 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 Cefradine EP Impurity A/Cefadroxil EP Impurity B.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Cefradine EP Impurity A/Cefadroxil EP Impurity B (CAS 22252-43-3, C8H10N2O3S) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Cefradine EP Impurity A/Cefadroxil EP Impurity B is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 214.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cefradine EP Impurity A/Cefadroxil EP Impurity B meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
