Chemical Structure

Ciprofloxacin Impurity 21 CAS 93594-39-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 359.35 g/mol gives Ciprofloxacin Impurity 21 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Ciprofloxacin Impurity 21 (CAS 93594-39-9, C18H18FN3O4) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Ciprofloxacin Impurity 21 (C18H18FN3O4) contains a flavonoid 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.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

CATO manufactures Ciprofloxacin Impurity 21 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.
