Chemical Structure
Description
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 process- or degradation-related impurity, Cefoxitin EP Impurity B (CAS CATO-C4X-15782, C16H17N3O7S2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Structurally, Cefoxitin EP Impurity B (C16H17N3O7S2) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 427.45 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
