Chemical Structure

Atorvastatin Impurity 63 CAS 196085-85-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Atorvastatin Impurity 63.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Atorvastatin Impurity 63 (CAS 196085-85-5, C14H23NO4) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Atorvastatin Impurity 63 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 269.34 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Atorvastatin Impurity 63 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.
