Chemical Structure

Faropenem Impurity 6 CAS CATO-C4X-12896 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Faropenem Impurity 6 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Faropenem Impurity 6 (CAS CATO-C4X-12896), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C11H15NO3S, MW 241.31 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, Faropenem Impurity 6 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 241.31 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Faropenem Impurity 6 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.
