Ceftizoxime Open-ring decarboxylation Dimer Impurity 56 CAS CATO-C4X-179356 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Ceftizoxime Open-ring decarboxylation Dimer Impurity 56 (CAS CATO-C4X-179356), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C24H28N10O7S4, MW 696.80 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C24H28N10O7S4, Ceftizoxime Open-ring decarboxylation Dimer Impurity 56 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 696.80 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
