Chemical Structure

Cefminox Sodium Impurity 20 CAS 57617-09-1 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Cefminox Sodium Impurity 20 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 434.88 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Cefminox Sodium Impurity 20 (CAS 57617-09-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C13H15ClN6O5S2 and a molecular weight of 434.88 g/mol.

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
