Abstract The influence of pH on the stability of cefozopran hydrochloride (CZH) was investigated in the pH range of 0.44–13.00. Six degradation products were identified with a hybrid ESI-Q-TOF mass spectrometer. The degradation of CZH as a result of hydrolysis was a pseudo-first-order reaction. As general acid–base hydrolysis of CZH was not occurred in the solutions of hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, acetate, borate and phosphate buffers, k obs  =  k pH because specific acid–base catalysis was observed. Specific acid–base catalysis of CZH consisted of the following reactions: hydrolysis of CZH catalyzed by hydrogen ions ( k H+ ), hydrolysis of dications ( k 1H 2 O ), monocations ( k 2H 2 O ) and zwitter ions ( k 3H 2 O ) and hydrolysis of zwitter ions ( k 1OH− ) and monoanions ( k 2OH− ) of CZH catalyzed by hydroxide ions. The total rate of the reaction was equal to the sum of partial reactions: . CZH similarly like other fourth generation cephalosporin was most stable at slightly acidic and neutral pH and less stable in alkaline pH. The cleavage of the β-lactam ring resulting from a nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon in the β-lactam moiety is the preferred degradation pathway of β-lactam antibiotics in aqueous solutions.
