Chemical Structure

Cefixime Impurity C17 CAS 84080-68-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Cefixime Impurity C17 (CAS 84080-68-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C11H17NO6, MW 259.26 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Cefixime Impurity C17 (C11H17NO6) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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), Cefixime Impurity C17 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.
