Chemical Structure

Fosfomycin Impurity 59 CAS 25460-63-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Fosfomycin Impurity 59 is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure, a phosphate ester group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Fosfomycin Impurity 59 (CAS 25460-63-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C5H11O4P, MW 166.11 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C5H11O4P, Fosfomycin Impurity 59 contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, a phosphate ester group; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 166.11 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Fosfomycin Impurity 59 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.
