Norfloxacin Impurity 38 CAS CATO-C4X-146838 chemical structure

Description

Norfloxacin Impurity 38 (CAS CATO-C4X-146838) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C9H8Cl2FNO and a molecular weight of 236.07 g/mol.

Structurally, Norfloxacin Impurity 38 (C9H8Cl2FNO) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 236.07 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Norfloxacin Impurity 38 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.
