Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 437.90 g/mol gives Moxifloxacin Impurity 15 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Moxifloxacin Impurity 15 (CAS 2205053-60-5(Free Base)), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H24FN3O4HCl, MW 437.90 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Based on its molecular formula C21H24FN3O4HCl, Moxifloxacin Impurity 15 contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 437.90 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Moxifloxacin Impurity 15 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
