Chemical Structure

Cephalexin Impurity 15 CAS 36114-06-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

Cephalexin Impurity 15 (CAS 36114-06-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C17H19N3O4S and a molecular weight of 361.42 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Cephalexin Impurity 15 (C17H19N3O4S) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

CATO manufactures Cephalexin Impurity 15 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
