Chemical Structure

Pitavastatin calcium Impurity 3 CAS 254452-88-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 460.54 g/mol gives Pitavastatin calcium Impurity 3 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Pitavastatin calcium Impurity 3 (CAS 254452-88-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C25H23FNO4Ca, MW 460.54 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Pitavastatin calcium Impurity 3 (C25H23FNO4Ca) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 14.5, corresponding to approximately 14 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 460.54 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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 calcium Impurity 3 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.
