Chemical Structure

Cefotiam Impurity 26 CAS CATO-C4X-120426 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Cefotiam Impurity 26 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.

CATO supplies Cefotiam Impurity 26 (CAS CATO-C4X-120426), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H14N4O4S2, MW 354.40 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Cefotiam Impurity 26 (C13H14N4O4S2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 354.40 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.

CATO manufactures Cefotiam Impurity 26 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
