Gatifloxacin USP RC E sodium (CAS 1029364-65-5 (acid)) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C19H21FN3O4Na and a molecular weight of 397.38 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Gatifloxacin USP RC E sodium (C19H21FN3O4Na) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.
