Chemical Structure

Moxifloxacin Impurity 44 CAS 112811-70-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Moxifloxacin Impurity 44.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Moxifloxacin Impurity 44 (CAS 112811-70-8, C16H16F3NO4) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Structurally, Moxifloxacin Impurity 44 (C16H16F3NO4) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 343.30 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

CATO manufactures Moxifloxacin Impurity 44 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
