Chemical Structure

Moxifloxacin Impurity 60 CAS CATO-C4X-107460 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Moxifloxacin Impurity 60 is closely related to a flavonoid 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.

CATO supplies Moxifloxacin Impurity 60 (CAS CATO-C4X-107460), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C24H28FN3O6, MW 473.49 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C24H28FN3O6, Moxifloxacin Impurity 60 contains a flavonoid core, 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 473.49 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Moxifloxacin Impurity 60 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
