Chemical Structure

Enrofloxacin Impurity 10 CAS CATO-C4X-162810 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Enrofloxacin Impurity 10 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Enrofloxacin Impurity 10 (CAS CATO-C4X-162810) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C15H14Cl2FNO3 and a molecular weight of 346.18 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, Enrofloxacin Impurity 10 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 346.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), Enrofloxacin Impurity 10 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.
