| Industry | Application | Process |
|---|---|---|
| Pharmaceutical Industry | Raw material for cefotaxime sodium synthesis | Chemical synthesis; acylation reaction |
| Pharmaceutical Industry | Antibiotic intermediate | Hydroxyl group protection and deprotection |
| Pharmaceutical R&D | Drug analysis and quality control | Reference standard preparation; purification process |
| Test Item | Common Testing Methods | Method Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance and Physical Characteristics | Visual Inspection + Physical Property Determination | Observe sample color and state (typically white or off-white powder), and determine solubility (readily soluble in water and methanol, poorly soluble in ether) |
| Identification | Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) | Compare infrared spectrum with reference standard of cefotaxime acid; characteristic absorption peaks (e.g., β-lactam ring at 1770 cm⁻¹, carboxylic acid at 1710 cm⁻¹) should match |
| High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) | Confirm identity by comparing retention time with reference standard; commonly uses C18 column and mobile phase composed of methanol-water/buffer salt system | |
| Assay | High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) | Quantify using external or internal standard method, with UV detection at 254 nm or 265 nm; calculate percentage of main peak area, meeting pharmacopoeial requirements (e.g., ≥95.0%) |
| Related Substances (Impurities) | High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) | Use gradient elution to separate degradation products (e.g., desacetyl cefotaxime, dimer), detect at 254 nm; individual impurity ≤1.0%, total impurities ≤3.0% |
| Residual Solvents | Gas Chromatography (GC) | Headspace injection used to detect residual solvents such as methanol, ethanol, acetone, dichloromethane; limits controlled according to ICH Q3C guidelines |
| Water Content | Karl Fischer Titration | Precisely measure moisture content; typically required to be ≤5.0% to ensure product stability and storage safety |
| Heavy Metals | Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) or ICP-MS | Detect levels of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic; comply with pharmacopoeial limits (e.g., lead ≤10 ppm) |
| Particle Size Distribution (if applicable) | Laser Diffraction or Microscopy | For powdered active pharmaceutical ingredients, measure particle size distribution to ensure uniformity and compressibility (e.g., D90 < 50 μm) |
| pH Value (Solution) | pH Meter Measurement | Prepare aqueous solution at specified concentration (e.g., 10 mg/mL), measure pH range (typically 4.0–7.0), reflecting acid-base stability |
| Microbial Limits | Plate Count Method / MPN Method | Test for total aerobic microbial count, molds and yeasts, and presence of *Escherichia coli*; meet microbial limits for non-sterile APIs (e.g., ≤10³ CFU/g) |
| Pyrogens or Bacterial Endotoxins | Limulus Amebocyte Lysate Test (LAL Test) | Determine bacterial endotoxin levels; typically required to be <5.0 EU/mg (based on injectable requirements; for API, consider final formulation specifications) |
| Test Item | Specification |
