Chemical Structure

Levofloxacin Impurity 41 CAS CATO-C4X-137141 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Levofloxacin Impurity 41 (CAS CATO-C4X-137141, C19H21ClFN3O4) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, Levofloxacin Impurity 41 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 409.84 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Levofloxacin Impurity 41 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.
