As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Tazobactam Acid Impurity 27 (CAS 74189-25-6, C21H20BrNO3S) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
The molecular framework of Tazobactam Acid Impurity 27 (C21H20BrNO3S) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
