Chemical Structure

Cloxacillin EP Impurity D CAS 23598-72-3 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cloxacillin EP Impurity D 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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Cloxacillin EP Impurity D (CAS 23598-72-3, C11H8ClNO3) 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 hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Cloxacillin EP Impurity D is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 237.64 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 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.
