Chemical Structure

Sarafloxacin impurity 1 CAS CATO-C4X-31171 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 414.36 g/mol gives Sarafloxacin impurity 1 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Sarafloxacin impurity 1 (CAS CATO-C4X-31171, C20H16F2N4O4) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Sarafloxacin impurity 1 (C20H16F2N4O4) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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), Sarafloxacin impurity 1 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.
