Chemical Structure

Rosuvastatin Impurity 266 CAS 775571-58-9 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Rosuvastatin Impurity 266 (CAS 775571-58-9, C9H15ClO4) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Rosuvastatin Impurity 266 is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 222.67 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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 Rosuvastatin Impurity 266 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.
