Cefuroxime Impurity 91 CAS CATO-C4X-124591 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies Cefuroxime Impurity 91 (CAS CATO-C4X-124591), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H17N5O7S2, MW 443.45 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Cefuroxime Impurity 91 (C15H17N5O7S2) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 443.45 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cefuroxime Impurity 91 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.
