N-Nitroso Cefpirome impurity 56 CAS CATO-C4X-120756 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies N-Nitroso Cefpirome impurity 56 (CAS CATO-C4X-120756), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C26H27N3O2PBr, MW 524.40 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

N-Nitroso Cefpirome impurity 56 (C26H27N3O2PBr) contains a steroid core, an amide group, organophosphorus functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
