Chemical Structure

Atorvastatin Impurity 82 CAS 125971-96-2 chemical structure

Description

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.

CATO supplies Atorvastatin Impurity 82 (CAS 125971-96-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C26H24FNO3, MW 417.47 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Atorvastatin Impurity 82 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 417.47 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Atorvastatin Impurity 82 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.
