Cefepime Dihydrochloride Monohydrate EP Impurity C CAS CATO-C4X-135863 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 Cefepime Dihydrochloride Monohydrate EP Impurity C.

CATO supplies Cefepime Dihydrochloride Monohydrate EP Impurity C (CAS CATO-C4X-135863), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H10N4O3S, MW 242.25 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C8H10N4O3S, Cefepime Dihydrochloride Monohydrate EP Impurity C contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 242.25 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

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.
