Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that is commonly used in combination with antibiotics to enhance their effectiveness. However, the production of sulbactam can result in the formation of impurities which can affect the quality and safety of the drug. These impurities can include residual solvents, degradation products, and other by-products that can have toxic or pharmacological effects. Therefore, it is essential to monitor and control the levels of sulbactam impurities during the manufacturing process to ensure the safety and efficacy of the final product.
