Description

Gatifloxacin Lactate is the lactate salt form of a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic. This high-purity pharmaceutical intermediate is critical for ensuring the efficacy and safety of the final drug product. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in antibacterial formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API Synthesis: Key intermediate in the production of Gatifloxacin-based antibiotic drugs.
• Ophthalmic Solutions: Used in the manufacture of sterile eye drop formulations for treating bacterial conjunctivitis.
• Injectable Formulations: Serves as a critical raw material for producing parenteral (intravenous) antibiotic solutions.
• Research & Development: Utilized in preclinical and clinical studies for developing new antibacterial therapies.
• Veterinary Medicine: Employed in the development of antibacterial treatments for animal health.

Quality Control

Our Gatifloxacin Lactate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
