Chemical Structure

Moxifloxacin Impurity 170 CAS CATO-C4X-1074170 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Moxifloxacin Impurity 170.

Moxifloxacin Impurity 170 (CAS CATO-C4X-1074170) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C13H11F3O5 and a molecular weight of 304.22 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Moxifloxacin Impurity 170 (C13H11F3O5) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional 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.
