Chemical Structure

Ceftizoxime Impurity 10 CAS 57028-71-4 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Ceftizoxime Impurity 10 (CAS 57028-71-4, C20H18N2O3S) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ceftizoxime Impurity 10 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 366.43 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), Ceftizoxime Impurity 10 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.
