5-Amino-1-cyclopropyl-6,7,8-trifluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid

This compound, 5-Amino-1-cyclopropyl-6,7,8-trifluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid, is a synthetic organic chemical characterized by its quinolone core structure. It incorporates a cyclopropyl ring attached to the nitrogen at position 1, an amino group at position 5, and three fluorine atoms at positions 6, 7, and 8 of the quinoline system. A carboxylic acid group is present at position 3, and a ketone at position 4. Its molecular weight is 298.22 g/mol. This chemical is of interest in pharmaceutical research, particularly as a potential intermediate in the synthesis of novel quinolone-based compounds or as a reference standard for quality control and impurity profiling in the development and manufacturing of fluoroquinolone antibiotics like Sparfloxacin, for which it is known as an impurity. It is intended for Research Use Only (RUO).

• Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and a lab coat. Use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood to avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Store in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive safety information before use.
