Overview | fluoroquinolones are characterized by broad-spectrum, high efficiency and low toxicity, great success has been achieved in clinical anti-infection treatment. Among them, ofloxacin, levofloxacin and Levofloxacin Hydrochloride were the excellent representatives. Levofloxacin developed by Japan's first three co-Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is an excellent variety with a wide market share, and its chemical name is (-)-(S)-3-methyl-9-fluoro-2, 3-dihydro-10-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-7-oxo-7h-pyrido [1,2,3-de]-[1,4] benzoxazine-6-carboxylic acid), as a hemihydrate. The synthesis process of levofloxacin has been very mature, and there are many reports. The last step is to synthesize levofloxacin by condensation reaction. The above preparation process may produce site isomeric impurity (1), chemical name:(S)-(-)-10-fluorine -2, 3-dihydro-3-methyl-9-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-7-oxo-7h-pyrido [1,2,3-de]-[1,4] benzoxazine-6-carboxylic acid, abbreviated as 9-levofloxacin piperazine impurity. |
