Chemical Structure

Gatifloxacin Impurity C79 CAS 182868-72-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Gatifloxacin Impurity C79 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.

CATO supplies Gatifloxacin Impurity C79 (CAS 182868-72-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H24FN3O4, MW 389.42 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C20H24FN3O4, Gatifloxacin Impurity C79 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 389.42 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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 Gatifloxacin Impurity C79 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.
