Cefuroxime Impurity 38 CAS CATO-C4X-124538 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Cefuroxime Impurity 38.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Cefuroxime Impurity 38 (CAS CATO-C4X-124538, C31H28N7O14S2Na) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Structurally, Cefuroxime Impurity 38 (C31H28N7O14S2Na) 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 21.5, corresponding to approximately 21 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 809.71 g/mol, it falls into the high-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

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.
