Chemical Structure

Moxifloxacin Impurity 10 CAS 172602-83-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Moxifloxacin Impurity 10 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.

Moxifloxacin Impurity 10 (CAS 172602-83-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C17H17F2NO4 and a molecular weight of 337.32 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Moxifloxacin Impurity 10 (C17H17F2NO4) 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. 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.

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.
