Chemical Structure

Atorvastatin impurity 160 CAS 1112262-76-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Atorvastatin impurity 160 is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Atorvastatin impurity 160 (CAS 1112262-76-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H25NO4, MW 259.34 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Atorvastatin impurity 160 (C13H25NO4) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 259.34 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Atorvastatin impurity 160 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
