Chemical Structure

Cefprozil Impurity 57 CAS CATO-C4X-149257 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Cefprozil Impurity 57 is closely related to a steroid 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.

CATO supplies Cefprozil Impurity 57 (CAS CATO-C4X-149257), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C26H26N2O5S, MW 478.56 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Cefprozil Impurity 57 (C26H26N2O5S) contains a steroid core, 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. 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), Cefprozil Impurity 57 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.
