Chemical Structure

Lomefloxacin Impurity 14 CAS CATO-C4X-207314 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Lomefloxacin Impurity 14 (CAS CATO-C4X-207314), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C12H7F2NO3, MW 251.19 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Lomefloxacin Impurity 14 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 251.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Lomefloxacin Impurity 14 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.
