Chemical Structure

Ceftazidime EP Impurity C CAS 3432-88-0 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 Ceftazidime EP Impurity C.

Ceftazidime EP Impurity C (CAS 3432-88-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C13H13N3O3S and a molecular weight of 291.33 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C13H13N3O3S, Ceftazidime EP Impurity C contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 291.33 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), Ceftazidime EP Impurity C 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.
