Chemical Structure

S-Cefadroxil Sulfoxide CAS CATO-C4X-122416 chemical structure

Description

S-Cefadroxil Sulfoxide (CAS CATO-C4X-122416) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H17N3O6S and a molecular weight of 379.39 g/mol.

The molecular framework of S-Cefadroxil Sulfoxide (C16H17N3O6S) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), S-Cefadroxil Sulfoxide 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.
