Chemical Structure

Phenoxymethylpenicillin Impurity 12 CAS CATO-C4X-212612 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Phenoxymethylpenicillin Impurity 12 is closely related to a flavonoid core, 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.

Phenoxymethylpenicillin Impurity 12 (CAS CATO-C4X-212612) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H22N2O7S and a molecular weight of 410.44 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C18H22N2O7S, Phenoxymethylpenicillin Impurity 12 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 410.44 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

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.
