Chemical Structure

Cefixime Impurity 97 CAS CATO-C4X-113997 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Cefixime Impurity 97 is closely related to a flavonoid core, 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.

CATO supplies Cefixime Impurity 97 (CAS CATO-C4X-113997), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C22H27N3O10S, MW 525.53 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Cefixime Impurity 97 (C22H27N3O10S) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
