Chemical Structure

Cefpodoxime Sulfoxide Impurity 2 CAS CATO-C4X-179372 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Cefpodoxime Sulfoxide Impurity 2 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Cefpodoxime Sulfoxide Impurity 2 (CAS CATO-C4X-179372), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C11H13N5O4S2, MW 343.38 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Cefpodoxime Sulfoxide Impurity 2 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 343.38 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures Cefpodoxime Sulfoxide Impurity 2 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
