Chemical Structure

Norfloxacin Impurity C25 CAS 74011-47-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Norfloxacin Impurity C25 is closely related to a steroid 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.

Norfloxacin Impurity C25 (CAS 74011-47-5) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H22FN3O3 and a molecular weight of 347.38 g/mol.

Norfloxacin Impurity C25 (C18H22FN3O3) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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 Norfloxacin Impurity C25 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.
