(6R,7S)-4-[[2-Carboxy-7-methoxy-3-[[(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thio]methyl]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-en-7-yl]carbamoyl]-1,3-dithietane-D2,-malonamic acid, disodium salt. (6R,7S)-7-[4-(Carbamoylcarboxymethylene)-1,3-dithietane-2-carboxamido]-7-methoxy-3-[[(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thio]methyl]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, disodium salt [74356-00-6]. » Cefotetan Disodium contains the equivalent of not less than 830 µg and not more than 970 µg of cefotetan (C17H17N7O8S4) per mg, calculated on the anhydrous basis.
Packaging and storage
Preserve in tight containers.
Labeling
Where it is intended for use in preparing injectable dosage forms, the label states that it is sterile or must be subjected to further processing during the preparation of injectable dosage forms.
Identification
A:
The retention time of the major peak in the chromatogram of the Assay preparation corresponds to that of the Standard preparation obtained as directed in the Assay.
B:
It responds to the tests for Sodium 191.
pH 791:
between 4.0 and 6.5, in a solution (1 in 10).
Other requirements
Where the label states that Cefotetan Disodium is sterile, it meets the requirements for Sterility and Bacterial endotoxins under Cefotetan for Injection. Where the label states that Cefotetan Disodium must be subjected to further processing during the preparation of injectable dosage forms, it meets the requirements for Bacterial endotoxins under Cefotetan for Injection.
Assay
[noteProtect the Standard preparation, the Resolution solution, and the Assay preparations from light, and use within 2 hours.]
Mobile phase, Standard preparation, Resolution solution, and Chromatographic system
Proceed as directed in the Assay under Cefotetan.
Assay preparation
Transfer about 40 mg of Cefotetan Disodium, accurately weighed, to a 200-mL volumetric flask, add 10 mL of methanol, swirl for several minutes, add 10 mL of acetonitrile, and swirl until dissolved. Dilute with water to volume, and mix.
