Ertapenem Impurity 66 CAS CATO-C4X-163366 chemical structure

Description

Ertapenem Impurity 66 (CAS CATO-C4X-163366) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C26H28N4O3S and a molecular weight of 476.59 g/mol.

Structurally, Ertapenem Impurity 66 (C26H28N4O3S) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 15.0, corresponding to approximately 15 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 476.59 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).

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), Ertapenem Impurity 66 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.
