Chemical Structure

Cefuroxime Impurity 76 CAS CATO-C4X-124576 chemical structure

Description

Cefuroxime Impurity 76 (CAS CATO-C4X-124576) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H23N3O10S and a molecular weight of 509.49 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C21H23N3O10S, Cefuroxime Impurity 76 contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 509.49 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
