Chemical Structure

Ampicillin Impurity 84 CAS CATO-C4X-144384 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ampicillin Impurity 84 is closely related to a flavonoid core, 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.

Ampicillin Impurity 84 (CAS CATO-C4X-144384) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H20N4O6S and a molecular weight of 396.42 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Ampicillin Impurity 84 (C16H20N4O6S) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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), Ampicillin Impurity 84 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.
