Chemical Structure

Pitavastatin Impurity 20 CAS 2180095-22-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Pitavastatin Impurity 20 is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Pitavastatin Impurity 20 (CAS 2180095-22-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C25H21FNO4Ca, MW 458.52 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C25H21FNO4Ca, Pitavastatin Impurity 20 contains a flavonoid core, 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 458.52 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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 manufactures Pitavastatin Impurity 20 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
