Chemical Structure

Pitavastatin Impurity 4 CAS 141750-63-2 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Pitavastatin Impurity 4 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 403.45 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 process- or degradation-related impurity, Pitavastatin Impurity 4 (CAS 141750-63-2, C25H22FNO3) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

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 4 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.
