Chemical Structure

Pitavastatin Impurity 55 CAS 1187966-94-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Pitavastatin Impurity 55 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Pitavastatin Impurity 55 (CAS 1187966-94-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H16FN, MW 289.35 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution, Pitavastatin Impurity 55 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 289.35 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), Pitavastatin Impurity 55 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.
