Chemical Structure

Cefdinir CP Impurity M CAS 946573-41-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Cefdinir CP Impurity M (CAS 946573-41-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C14H13N5O5S2, MW 395.41 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Cefdinir CP Impurity M is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 395.41 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cefdinir CP Impurity M 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.
