Ertapenem Impurity 4 CAS CATO-C4X-16334 chemical structure

Description

Ertapenem Impurity 4 (CAS CATO-C4X-16334) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C25H29N3O7S and a molecular weight of 515.58 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C25H29N3O7S, Ertapenem Impurity 4 contains a flavonoid core, 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 515.58 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

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.
