Chemical Structure

Norfloxacin Impurity 22 CAS 109142-49-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 335.33 g/mol gives Norfloxacin Impurity 22 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Norfloxacin Impurity 22 (CAS 109142-49-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H18FN3O4, MW 335.33 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Norfloxacin Impurity 22 (C16H18FN3O4) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 335.33 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Norfloxacin Impurity 22 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
