Chemical Structure

Sitafloxacin impurity 80 CAS CATO-C4X-115580 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C19H20ClF2N3O3HCl, Sitafloxacin impurity 80 contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 448.29 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO supplies Sitafloxacin impurity 80 (CAS CATO-C4X-115580), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C19H20ClF2N3O3HCl, MW 448.29 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

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.
