Chemical Structure

Flucloxacillin impurity 8 CAS CATO-C4X-16478 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Flucloxacillin impurity 8 is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Flucloxacillin impurity 8 (CAS CATO-C4X-16478), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C19H17ClFN3O6S, MW 469.87 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Flucloxacillin impurity 8 (C19H17ClFN3O6S) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 469.87 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), Flucloxacillin impurity 8 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.
