Ceftiofur Dimer is a critical degradation product of the third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic ceftiofur. It forms via oxidative coupling, primarily in aqueous environments or during storage. The molecular formula is C41H50N8O12S6 (CAS: 139402-77-6). This dimer serves as a key marker for stability analysis and residue monitoring in veterinary pharmaceuticals.
Strictly regulated under veterinary drug withdrawal periods to prevent food chain contamination. Requires storage in cool, dry conditions away from light to minimize further oxidation. Personnel must utilize appropriate PPE when handling due to potential allergenic properties.
