Chemical Structure

Gatifloxacin Impurity 13 CAS 103460-87-3 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C20H23F2N3O3, Gatifloxacin Impurity 13 contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 391.41 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Gatifloxacin Impurity 13 (CAS 103460-87-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H23F2N3O3 and a molecular weight of 391.41 g/mol.

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
