Chemical Structure

Benzylpenicillin Impurity 28 CAS 4052-54-4 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.

CATO supplies Benzylpenicillin Impurity 28 (CAS 4052-54-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H18N2O5S, MW 350.39 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Benzylpenicillin Impurity 28 (C16H18N2O5S) 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO manufactures Benzylpenicillin Impurity 28 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.
