Chemical Structure

Cefmetazole Impurity 48 CAS 310466-38-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Cefmetazole Impurity 48 (CAS 310466-38-7, C8H5FS) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Cefmetazole Impurity 48 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 152.19 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.
