Chemical Structure

Cefotaxime Impurity 63 CAS CATO-C4X-120163 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, Cefotaxime Impurity 63 (C29H34ClN5O9S2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 15.0, corresponding to approximately 15 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 696.19 g/mol, it falls into the high-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Cefotaxime Impurity 63 (CAS CATO-C4X-120163, C29H34ClN5O9S2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

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), Cefotaxime Impurity 63 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.
