Chemical Structure

Cefalexin Impurity 30 CAS 65870-51-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 217.22 g/mol gives Cefalexin Impurity 30 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Cefalexin Impurity 30 (CAS 65870-51-1, C11H11N3O2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Cefalexin Impurity 30 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 217.22 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).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cefalexin Impurity 30 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.
