Chemical Structure

Pefloxacin Mesilate Dihydrate EP Impurity E CAS 879005-96-6 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Pefloxacin Mesilate Dihydrate EP Impurity E (CAS 879005-96-6, C16H20FN3O) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Based on its molecular formula C16H20FN3O, Pefloxacin Mesilate Dihydrate EP Impurity E contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, 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 289.35 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

CATO manufactures Pefloxacin Mesilate Dihydrate EP Impurity E 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.
