Chemical Structure

Cephalexin Impurity 10 CAS CATO-C4X-126110 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Cephalexin Impurity 10 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Cephalexin Impurity 10 (CAS CATO-C4X-126110), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C32H32N6O7S2C2HF3O2, MW 790.78 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Cephalexin Impurity 10 is typically pale yellow to yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 790.78 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures Cephalexin Impurity 10 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
