Isolation, structural elucidation and characterization of impurities in Cefdinir

Three unknown impurities in Cefdinir bulk drug at levels below 0.2% (ranging from 0.05 to 0.2%) have been detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These impurities were isolated from crude sample of Cefdinir using preparative HPLC. Based on the spectral data (NMR, IR and MS) the st...

Description
Summary:Three unknown impurities in Cefdinir bulk drug at levels below 0.2% (ranging from 0.05 to 0.2%) have been detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These impurities were isolated from crude sample of Cefdinir using preparative HPLC. Based on the spectral data (NMR, IR and MS) the structures of these impurities were characterized as (6R, 7R)-7-[(z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-hydroxyiminoacetamido]-8-oxo-3-vinyl-5-thia-1-azabicyclo [4.2.0] oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid-5-oxide (I). (6R, 7R)-7-[(z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-hydroxyiminoacetamido]-8-oxo-3-vinyl-5-thia-1-azabi-cyclo [4.2.0] oct-3-ene-2-carboxylic acid (II). (6R, 7R)-7-[(z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-hydroxyiminoacetamido]-8-oxo-3-methyl-5-thia-1-azabicyclo-[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid (III), respectively. The origin and structural elucidation of all impurities have been discussed.
