Chemical Structure

Levofloxacin Hemihydrate CAS 138199-71-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Levofloxacin Hemihydrate is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Levofloxacin Hemihydrate (CAS 138199-71-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H20FN3O4H2O and a molecular weight of 379.39 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Levofloxacin Hemihydrate (C18H20FN3O4H2O) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures Levofloxacin Hemihydrate 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.
