Chemical Structure

Cefazolin Impurity 63 CAS CATO-C4X-157763 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 319.29 g/mol gives Cefazolin Impurity 63 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Cefazolin Impurity 63 (CAS CATO-C4X-157763, C10H13N3O7S) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Cefazolin Impurity 63 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 319.29 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).

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.
