Chemical Structure

Levofloxacin Impurity 38 CAS 113211-53-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 373.38 g/mol gives Levofloxacin Impurity 38 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Levofloxacin Impurity 38 (CAS 113211-53-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C19H20FN3O4 and a molecular weight of 373.38 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C19H20FN3O4, Levofloxacin Impurity 38 contains a flavonoid 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 373.38 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 Levofloxacin Impurity 38 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.
