Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 414.86 g/mol gives Marbofloxacin EP Impurity E HCl distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Marbofloxacin EP Impurity E HCl (CAS 2249835-04-7 (free base)), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H23FN4O4HCl, MW 414.86 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Marbofloxacin EP Impurity E HCl (C18H23FN4O4HCl) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine 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 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.
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.
