Chemical Structure

Moxifloxacin Impurity N45 CAS 1042641-60-0 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, Moxifloxacin Impurity N45 (C7H2ClF3O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 210.54 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Moxifloxacin Impurity N45 (CAS 1042641-60-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C7H2ClF3O2 and a molecular weight of 210.54 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.
