Chemical Structure

Benzylpenicillin EP Impurity C Potassium Salt CAS 525-91-7 (free base) 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.

Benzylpenicillin EP Impurity C Potassium Salt (CAS 525-91-7 (free base)) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H17N2O5SK and a molecular weight of 388.48 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Benzylpenicillin EP Impurity C Potassium Salt (C16H17N2O5SK) 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 EP Impurity C Potassium Salt 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.
