Chemical Structure

Cephalexin Impurity 40 CAS CATO-C4X-126140 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 Cephalexin Impurity 40.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Cephalexin Impurity 40 (CAS CATO-C4X-126140, C31H34N6O6S2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Cephalexin Impurity 40 (C31H34N6O6S2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cephalexin Impurity 40 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.
