Sodium Fusidate EP Impurity A CAS 80445-74-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Sodium Fusidate EP Impurity A (CAS 80445-74-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C31H50O8, MW 550.72 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Sodium Fusidate EP Impurity A is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 550.72 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Sodium Fusidate EP Impurity A 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.
