Cefuroxime Sodium EP Impurity B (CAS 39685-31-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C17H17N3O8S and a molecular weight of 423.40 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Cefuroxime Sodium EP Impurity B (C17H17N3O8S) 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).
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.
