Levofloxacin Impurity 21 is a critical reference standard used in the pharmaceutical manufacturing of levofloxacin, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic. Synthesized via specific degradation pathways or side-reactions during the main process, its structure is defined by the molecular formula C18H20N2O5 and CAS number 164972-62-3. This compound serves as an essential tool for method development and validation.
Store strictly at -20°C under inert atmosphere to prevent degradation. Handle with appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves and safety goggles due to potential irritant properties. Do not use in clinical settings; intended solely for laboratory research and quality analysis purposes.
