Chemical Structure

Cefadroxil Impurity 40 CAS 646536-87-0 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Cefadroxil Impurity 40 (CAS 646536-87-0, C11H16N2O5S) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Cefadroxil Impurity 40 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 288.32 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).

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.

CATO manufactures Cefadroxil Impurity 40 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.
