Levofloxacin (Levofloxacin) is the levofloxacin, which has a wide antibacterial spectrum and strong antibacterial effect feature
Levofloxacin Impurity D is a critical reference standard defined as 1,4-dihydro-7-methyl-9-fluoro-5-oxo-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-4H-pyrido[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-3-carboxylic acid. Its molecular formula is C18H16F3N3O3 with CAS No. 140566-05-0. This compound serves as an essential process impurity generated during the synthesis of levofloxacin via asymmetric catalysis.
Store under inert atmosphere at -20°C to prevent degradation. Handle with appropriate PPE due to potential mutagenicity. Strictly limit clinical use to laboratory research only; not for human therapeutic application.
