Chemical Structure

Rosuvastatin Impurity 79 CAS 488798-36-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

Rosuvastatin Impurity 79 (CAS 488798-36-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C15H17FN2O3 and a molecular weight of 292.31 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Rosuvastatin Impurity 79 (C15H17FN2O3) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Rosuvastatin Impurity 79 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.
