Chemical Structure

Aztreonam USP RC A CAS 87500-74-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Aztreonam USP RC A is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Aztreonam USP RC A (CAS 87500-74-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C13H19N5O9S2 and a molecular weight of 453.45 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Aztreonam USP RC A (C13H19N5O9S2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone 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 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Aztreonam USP RC 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.
