Cefuroxime Axetil Impurity 7 CAS 59176-08-8 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Cefuroxime Axetil Impurity 7 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.

CATO supplies Cefuroxime Axetil Impurity 7 (CAS 59176-08-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C7H6ClNO3, MW 187.58 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Cefuroxime Axetil Impurity 7 (C7H6ClNO3) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
