Chemical Structure

Ozefloxacin Impurity 13 CAS CATO-C4X-279613 chemical structure

Description

Ozefloxacin Impurity 13 (CAS CATO-C4X-279613) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H17Cl2NO3 and a molecular weight of 342.22 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Ozefloxacin Impurity 13 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 342.22 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.

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), Ozefloxacin Impurity 13 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.
