Chemical Structure

Cefmetazole Impurity 1 CAS 56796-16-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 415.44 g/mol gives Cefmetazole Impurity 1 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Cefmetazole Impurity 1 (CAS 56796-16-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H17N3O7S2, MW 415.44 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Cefmetazole Impurity 1 (C15H17N3O7S2) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 415.44 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cefmetazole Impurity 1 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.
