Atorvastatin Impurity 93 CAS 163217-74-1 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Atorvastatin Impurity 93 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.

Atorvastatin Impurity 93 (CAS 163217-74-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C33H33FN2O5 and a molecular weight of 556.62 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C33H33FN2O5, Atorvastatin Impurity 93 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 556.62 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
