Chemical Structure

Cefuroxime Impurity 96 CAS CATO-C4X-124596 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 96.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Cefuroxime Impurity 96 (CAS CATO-C4X-124596, C16H18N4O7S2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Cefuroxime Impurity 96 (C16H18N4O7S2) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, 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.
